Australia had put similar notes into circulation the year before these came out. Still traditional in that they had people on the as well as animals / buildings etc. But bright colours, distinct colour per note, big numbers etc. And they'd been using different colour per denomination since the 1920's.

@benhetland576 Australia had a transparent window on the very first polymer note in the world, issued in 1988. The first polymer notes in Great Britain were 27 years too late to be first.

@erbalumkan369 PNG was one of Australia's first and longest standing customers for the polymer notes printed in Australia.

Australia's first notes like this (bright, multi coloured, fine printing security etc) came out a year before the first Dutch notes, with the introduction of decimal currency in 1966. Though they were all slightly different colours as far back as 1926. By 1988 Australia had polymer notes with transparent windows and holograms etc.
