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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 - 1998 Annual Folder Notes Black S/N Deluxe Set AA98 001 001

Australia

1998 Annual Folder Deluxe Set
Signatures
Governor - Ian John Macfarlane
Secretary - Edward Alfred 'Ted' Evans

This is a 1998 annual folder deluxe set all printed with matching serial numbers. This is also the first set of the deluxe folder as it has the serial number of AA98 001 001. Only 2,000 sets issued and all sold at an issue price of $285 per set. This set is issued in a folder (not shown here).

I find this set very satisfactory as I bought it at the issued price. I managed to get this set by simply asking for it in my purchase order and it was very kind of them to accommodate my request. I missed the 1997 set with a similar serial number as I was very late in getting the notes. Anyway, 2 out of 3 is not bad as I also managed to get the 1999 set with the same serial numbers. I wonder who got the first deluxe set of 001001 for the 1997 issue?

Five Dollars
Ten Dollars
Twenty Dollars
Fifty Dollars
One Hundred Dollars
Is this the first Deluxe Set?
