Those who remember a previous Treasurer's comments on 'banana republic' might hesitate to picture the AUD with bananas.

But, it hasn't stopped Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Lowe.

He posted a video of himself buying a bag of bananas with the newly launched $20 Australian dollar note. Although it did take him a while to hand it over to the fruiterer.

I'm unable to embed the video here, but posted it to out @ForexLive Twitter account if you'd like to check it out (and follow ForexLive while you are at it for the latest forex news and views updated 24 hours a day)
