Aaron’s A$50 vending machine art

Aaron brings in a A$50 note which he claims he got by putting his bank card into an “art vending machine” near his house. He points out that the ‘art’ is double-sided, so it’s great value.

When Tom Gleeson asks Aaron who is depicted in the portraits on the banknote, Aaron clearly has no idea, but based on the signature on the note, he claims that they are by someone named Philip Lowe (former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia).

When Tom Gleeson suggests that Aaron is genuinely thick and has no idea what he’s talking about, but dresses it up as comedy, Aaron replies that he doesn’t understand, but will accept the points.

Aaron earns 2 points.

[Note: The A$50 banknote actually celebrates David Unaipon – an inventor and Australia's first published Aboriginal author, and Edith Cowan – the first female member of the Australian parliament.]
