I love that the follow up email which is trying to figure out the blame of the misspelling has the word "thru".
> "It is spelt wrong all the way thru [sic] microprint!"
They'll [sic] the "thru", but the article image clearly shows that the sentence in question says "It is spelt wrong all the way thru the microprint!", which has the added bonus of being grammatically valid, unlike the supposed quote.
This is the appropriate response to an error: "nobody died". I can't help but wonder what would have been the response if this happened in the US? I assume a full news cycle would be taken up with opportunistic politicians trying to score points by ascribing blame to their enemies.
I disagree somewhat. US news might laugh about it on morning news coverage. But is it that trivial and a laughing matter? I get it, typos are funny and no one dies. But "nobody died" isn't a valid excuse for mistakes on filing for taxes or legal contracts. Errors do matter, even if no one dies. not to overblow the issue, but governmental trust may require error avoidance for many people.

Probably somebody at the US mint would be embarrassed and it would be out of the news cycle in a week. It isn't like they misspelled the name of their country - they misspelled a word that is in size 1 font as a security feature.

Not with 480 million of them circulated, it won't be.
Perhaps if Australian bills have a similar lifespan to US currency. https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2014/09/12/how-ma...
