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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 - $50 1995 First Polymer and Last Paper Premium Issue Portfolio

Australia

$50 1995 First Polymer and Last Paper Portfolio
Signatures
Governor - Bernard William 'Bernie' Fraser
Secretary To The Treasury - Edward Alfred 'Ted' Evans

This is a premium portfolio issue of the $50 first polymer and the $50 last paper issue. These notes were issued in a hard cover folder, but unfortunately I bought these two notes without the folder. A thousand sets were issued with 900 sets released to the public. The serial numbers issued were AA95 000101 to AA95 001000. Both notes are printed with red serial numbers and this is a special print that the last $50 paper note is printed with the special prefix of AA95. This is a one-off print for the $50 paper note with such prefix.

The Portfolio No 1 set was auctioned off and raised $4,100 and the proceeds were donated to charity.
