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 This $10 Portrait set was a failure at that time and the series was later withdrawn as it was not popular among collectors.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 ND2016 Reprints

Australia

Fifty Dollars ND2016 Reprints

This is the last print for the first polymer first series. This note was first introduced in 1995. In 2003, the design was modified slightly in 2003. The $50 is the only denomination printed/issued almost every year since 1995 with the exception of 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2015. None were printed between 2000 to 2002 as NPA had printed a large quantity in 1999 in case the country encountered the Y2K/Millennium bug. Needless to say this is the most popular denomination circulating in the economy in the country.
