Removed from article: She is the only person in the whole history of the world who was convicted in crimes against property (or any other non-political crimes) and still has his or her image on national currency.
That's a remarkable claim - it would surprise me if none of the artists, scientists, explorers etc. depicted on banknotes worldwide had ever been convicted of any crime. While Reibey might be the only one on currently-circulated Australian currency, the old $10 note is still legal tender, and features convicted criminals on both sides (Francis Greenway and Henry Lawson); John Macarthur, from the old $2 note, narrowly avoided a court-martial for his part in the Rum Rebellion. If re-adding the above claim, please provide a source. --Calair 23:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
