We’re getting a new $5 note

And it’s getting one big change.

Australia, we’re getting a new $5 note.

But don’t expect it to change too much.

The new note will feature native wattle and will be released on National Wattle Day on September 1.

However, they’ll retain the same colour, size and people portrayed on each denomination.

The release marks the 50th anniversary of Australia’s conversion to decimal currency.
