There have been two different issues of this denomination: initially a greyish blue paper note, and from May 1996, a green polymer note . </P> <P> According to Reserve Bank of Australia statistics, the number of $100 banknotes in circulation in June 2005 was 149 million--18.5% of all notes in circulation . The cash value for these notes was $14,924 million--41.9% of the total value for all denominations . Only the $50 note had more cash value in circulation . In June 2008 there were 176.9 million notes in circulation (19%), with a value of $17,690 million (42.1%). Again, the value of cash in circulation is more for the $50 note . The larger value in $50 notes can be explained by the fact that almost all automated teller machines dispense $20 and $50 notes, but not $100 notes . </P>
