2019 - Here I have a complete collection of all Australian polymer notes (single note) issued since 1988, including all commemorative / numismatic notes, joint issues and special serial numbered issues. The only set that I do not have, at the moment, is the 1998 $10 Portraits AA98/AB98 (with or without frame). This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors. The price was not right then for me too and that was why I didn't buy them. It was the NPA intention then to release all portrait sets on a yearly basis starting with the $10 note and collectors were also given the opportunity to get them all with matching serial numbers too. Unfortunately this was not to be the case.

* Australian banknotes are also the official currency of Christmas Island, Norfolk Islands, Keeling and Cocos Islands, Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu. The Australian banknotes were also once circulating as an official currency of Hebrides (Vanuatu), Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands prior to gaining independence. *

.Australia - 1996 Prefix OO96 Special NPA Portfolio Notes Collection - Celebrating The Completion Of Polymer Series

Australia

1996 OO96 Prefix The Completion of Polymer Series Folder Set
Signatures
Governor - Bernard William 'Bernie' Fraser
Secretary To The Treasury - Edward Alfred 'Ted'


This is a very unique set of notes all printed with the prefixes of OO96. This set was released to collectors in August 1996. As Australia was the first country to fully convert all its banknotes from paper to polymer, NPA released this special set to celebrate this achievement. Only 1000 sets issued and at that time demand outstripped supply and as such a ballot was required to allocate the winners. Each note is printed with the original issue date on one side (not shown) and the unique serial number on the other side. The serial number range printed from OO96 000001 to OO96 001000. The issue price was $495.

Set number one was sold at an auction and raised $3,000, which was then donated to charity.
