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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 - $20 1994 Portfolio Set of Two Notes Hard Cover

Australia

1994 $20 Portfolio Set of Two Notes (Paper and Polymer)
Signatures
Governor - Bernard William 'Bernie' Fraser
Secretary To The Treasury - Edward Alfred 'Ted' Evans

Australia Annual Portfolio issue. This is the second of the Portfolio series with two of the $20 notes issued in a hard cover folder with matching serial numbers for both notes. Both numbers are also printed in red. This is the only paper Australia $20 banknote that printed with 2 letters prefix as all normal paper notes were printed with 3 letters prefix since 1966. The serial numbers range printed are from AA94 000 101 to AA94 001 000. However only 900 sets were released at $350 per set as it is tradition that the Reserve Bank retained the first 100 sets for their archive.
