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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 - 2008 Reprints Last Prefixes Full Set

Australia

2008 Last Prefix Set $5 to $100
It is exciting time again for Australian polymer collectors to see that for the first time since 1999 we have a complete set of polymer notes released from the 2008 prints. The 2008 release is also the first time that we have both the signatures of Governor Glenn Stevens and the Secretary to the Treasure Dr Ken Henry appeared on all 5 denominations. The last time a $100 note was issued was back in 1999. Like all notes printed since 2002, the new $100 is also modified to include the names of both Sir John Monash and Dame Nellie Melba imprinted on the note. Needless to say this note will get a new reference catalogue number. 

In Australia, the first and last prefix notes are well sought after by most collectors. Whilst it is believed that most letter prefixes are printed approx. between 500,000 to one million pieces each, it has come to our attention that less than 50,000 pieces of the $50 last prefix were printed for the 2008 run. With such a low quantity printed for the $50 note last prefix, hopefully we will see the value of this note appreciated faster than any other first and last prefix notes printed for the 2008 series.
