I meet and had a few beers with David at the Walkabout Font Bar in Nhulunbuy in the late 80's
David was given a silver medalilion that he wore around his neck and a small tinny and outboard motor for his artwork
His nickname was the $1 note Man

David Malangi (1927 – 19 June 1999), also known as David Malangi Daymirringu, nicknamed Dollar Dave, was an Indigenous Australian Yolngu artist from the Northern Territory. He was one of the most well-known bark painters from Arnhem Land and a significant figure in contemporary Indigenous Australian art. He became known for his work being printed without his permission on the Australian one-dollar note, which led to a copyright dispute.
