Lobster, pineapple, gray nurse
Australians don't barter with lobsters and pineapples, but most have had at least one friend ring them up (or hit them up at the pub) to lend a lobster or a pineapple.
The $20 note being a sparkling red (lobster) and the $50 note being bright yellow (pineapple) lends itself to the phrase. The $100 note, a blue gray, has now been named after a shark (grey nurse). The less important $5 and $10 notes are often referred to as past international sporting stars -- Pam Shriver (fiver) and Ayrton Senna (tenner).

Always thought the $100 was green. Never heard of it as blue/gray. The $10 is blue so that is just confusing.

TBH never heard any of those terms before when discussing Aussie Currency Notes.
