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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 Premium Red Serial Numbers Set #287

Australia

1998 NPA Annual Premium Set With Red Serial Numbers
Governor - Ian John Macfarlane
Secretary To The Treasury - Edward Alfred Evans

Australia 1998 NPA Annual Premium full set (red serial nos set). This is the second full annual Premium set issued, after the 1997 sets released the previous year. Unlike previous years, this was issued in a complete set of 5 notes and as such this is the only way you can get them with red serial numbers and not via individual notes. A total of 1,000 were printed but as usual only 900 sets were released to the public with the remaining 100 sets retained by the bank's archive. All sets were issued with matching serial numbers and the original issue price was $480.00. Despite only 900 sets made available to collectors and initially selling for $480.00 ($285.00 for the deluxe black serial numbers set), the demand for these premium sets (just like all other Premium sets previously issued) were not that particularly popular. Until now, you can still be able to find them selling at a fairly reasonable price. When it comes to demand for annual polymer folder sets, Australia does not always follow the rest of the world in terms of its demand. Low quantity issues do not necessarily result in higher demand as collectors are looking for value for money and reasonable pricing too. Based on what I have observed over the past few years, not many dealers are also willing to stock such products either, mostly due to poor demand by collectors or the lack of interest in such numismatic products.
