Varieties and details

Plate letter

It refers to the letters that can be found on banknotes. Here's where it can be found on a Frase-Cole 1991 10 dollars banknote:

Thread (center thread and side thread)

Starting in 1974, the Reserve Bank added a metallic security thread down the centre of banknotes as a new security feature. Because the center position is also the place where people fold their banknotes, they used prematurely. This is why the Reserve Bank moved the position of the thread to the side. The location of the thread (a dark line) can easily be found by looking at the banknote with enough lights passing through it.

Gothic

It refers to the font used for the serial number. Gothic font is narrow compared to the OCRB one.
