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.

DBP

To identify how quickly currency moved around Australia and to obtain benchmark figures on the life expectancy of circulating notes, the Reserve Bank released notes with a serial number prefix outside the normal sequence. In 1977, one dollar notes with the prefix DBP were released from single starting points in Perth and Tasmania. The DBP prefix was later used on Knight/Stone issues in 1979. The unique, one millionth DBP prefix note was printed with a serial number of 000000.

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.
