Some people considered it too dull while others were disappointed at the loss of Caroline Chisholm, the only woman apart from the Monarch to have appeared on an Australian currency note. In April 1995, a more brightly coloured $5 banknote was issued to more clearly distinguish it from the $10 note. In celebration of the Centenary of Australia's Federation, the RBA issued a commemorative $5 banknote in January 2001.
