There were various designs for the $20 note before a final decision was made. The $20 note, designed by Garry Emery, came out in October 1994.
Mary Reibey (1777–1855), featured on one side of the note, was transported to Australia in 1792 after a conviction for horse stealing. She built up substantial business interests including property, shipping and warehouses. In later life she became widely known for her charitable works and interest in church and education affairs.
.. lucky for us and Mary you guys had your revolution .. otherwise she might have ended in the USA, and never made it onto money ..
