There should be no repeat of the new-look $5 note's vending machine issues when revamped $10 notes start appearing in circulation this week, the Reserve Bank says, but betting company Tabcorp has already flagged delays before its automated terminals can cope with the new currency

From Wednesday, you may notice a new type of $10 note, the latest change in a push to make Australian cash harder to counterfeit.

Much like the $5 notes introduced last year, the new note will include beefed-up security features and a design to help the vision-impaired, though it won't change in size or colour, and the people on it remain the same.

However, retailers and the RBA will be keen to avoid the problems encountered soon after the release of the latest $5 note, which was last year rejected by some snack and drink vending machines, and gambling terminals.
