The $50 note is colloquially known as a 'pineapple'.

What crap is this, newer heard of it before, and Im an aussie. Enlil Ninlil 03:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Total crap. Me neither. Me too. Endorse deletion. Hesperian 03:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I hear it all the time - it's the most common nickname. I've heard 20's called 'oranges' or 'lobsters'. Google it, or look at the pineapple (disambiguation) page on Wiki, where this nickname was already referenced before I put it in the article. I've qualified it with 'sometimes' to reflect the nickname apparantly not being universal.165.142.249.81 00:55, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Another reference - http://www.abc.net.au/melbourne/stories/s1570115.htm - so we can rely on what is out there rather than our anecdotal recollections of whether we've heard it used. 165.142.249.81 01:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Fair enough. [1]. Hesperian 01:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. And next time guys - how about we Assume_good_faith rather than attack someone elses contributions as 'crap' or 'nonsense'? :) 165.142.249.81 01:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Point taken. My apologies. Hesperian 01:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Ok I wont delete it, but still no-one i know uses these names. So you should also put it in the other articles. Enlil Ninlil 06:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I hear them quite a bit - 'heeler' for the $10, 'lobster' for the $20, 'pineapple' for the $50. It's just like how Americans call a 5c a nickel and a 10c a dime. Maybe each of these articles needs its own section on nicknames? According to the link Hesperian posted, some people call a $20 a 'redback', which makes sense but I've never heard that one before.

We don't call the $50 a 'pineapple'! I wonder if some Ammerican made it up?

[edit] Date

October 4, 1995, wierd, this is the issue date, the design date would be much earlier. Enlil Ninlil 10:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

You're probably right. People tend to be approximate when they fill in infobox. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 12:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Australian Paper Fifty Dollar Note Security Features.jpg

Image:Australian Paper Fifty Dollar Note Security Features.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
