Varieties and details
Commonwealth

Australia
Phillips-Wheeler banknotes of 1974.
Gothic
It refers to the font used for the serial number. Gothic font is narrow compared to the OCRB one.
OCRB
It refers to the font used for the serial number. OCRB (Optical Character Recognition) font is narrow compared to the Gothic one. OCRB function was to facilitate the optical character recognition operations by specific electronic devices. It was accepted as the world standard in 1973.
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.
Star (*)
It refers to the star (pre-decimal) or asterix (decimal) that can be found at the end of the serial number to indicates replacement notes.
You can find known star notes in the registry.
