Well done everyone.
The flag and Australian bank note question were total guesses for me.

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo, great quiz - and no amount of 'roo contemplation would have unearthed the colour of that banknote... even if I did nearly use the name "Blue" instead of "Bruce" on my gif annotation earlier
Well done everyone on the results, I honestly don't know where he gets'em from!
Looking forward to the Science questions next Monday

Thank you @TallTrees @Cleoriff @gmarkj @pgn for your kind comments.
I`m really pleased you all enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.
The "odd questions" editions of WRQ are always fun for me - searching out the "odd" questions.
The Australian banknote question didn`t come from a quiz book. It came about by chance whilst I was looking for currencies for different countries and came across the colours for Australian banknotes.
Monday`s WRQ will be a mix of what will hopefully be slightly easier and not quite-so-easy questions, which I`ll be searching out over the weekend.
