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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 - 2017 $10 Next Generation Series

Australia

$10 Next Gen Series

This is the second of the Next Generation series of ten dollars polymer banknotes. This note was issued on 20.09.2017.

Like the previous $10 note, the new note retained the two portraits of writers Dame Mary Gilmore and Banjo Paterson. In keeping with the tradition, the front of the note is printed with a portrait of a female and a male on the back and this rotates on each denomination upward. All serial numbers are printed on the back. The $5 note is the only denomination that does not have a portrait on the back. Also the new series only has one set of serial numbers and not two as compared to previous polymer issues since 1992.

First Prefix - AA17
Last Prefix - EA17

The new note has the following features: -

• A rolling colour effect when the banknote is tilted;
• Top to bottom clear window;
• An image of the nib of a pen to represent both writers works;
• A flying cockatoo that will move its wings and change colour when the note is titled;
• A sulphur-crested cockatoo;
• A reversing number 10, which changes within the homestead on the note;
• An interpretation of the Bramble Wattle.
• Two raised bumps on each of the long edges of the banknote, which work as a tactile feature;
• A portrait of Banjo Paterson is based on a photograph taken in 1900;
• The designer’s interpretation of a horseman from the era of Paterson’s writing;
• Tiny parts of text in multiple locations on the banknote that includes excerpts from The Man from Snowy River; and
• A cockatoo and wattle branch printed with fluorescent ink and visible under UV light.
