I think it's time we came up with a plan to get hold of some of these. Does anyone have any suggestions? :huh:

That's assuming they actually have them. I reckon they're still stuck at NPA, waiting to be issued or destroyed. Since you live in Melbourne, perhaps you could rob their Craigieburn facility.
Here's the map:

How do you know that they printed noted for 2014?
Unless the RBA is confused Goldie they do include 2014 $5 (BA - EA) in their serials listing. Whether the notes have seen (or will see) the light of day is another matter.

Yeah, or look in the PDF. You DID download it, right? ;)

Yes, I did download it, but I want everyone to know where the original source is.

I meant Goldy. :angel:
We could wait for some to mysteriously turn up on ebay.
I'm surprised none have already.
NPA has very strict protocols about what can and can't be released. They're much more secure than the mint, which allows people to steal over $130,000 worth of $2 coins. :laugh2:
2015 $5 Notes are the latest buzz
say wot????? $130,000 worth of $2 coins

Yeah, we discussed that at some length previously. RG just has a bad memory is all. ;)
So the article in the latest CAB about the new $5 note says that NPA says some of the 2014 notes have been released.
Which page is it on?
Like you said, We will probably never know.
Quote from: 'Hercules' pid='100605' dateline='1477734937'Which page is it on?
Page 14 of the November issue - first column, about thirds of the way down the page.
Same deal with the 2015s apparently - some unknown amount released into circulation.
Just because it is in a book, doesn't make it so.
I'm hoping the RBA 2 Generations Folder might have them.
I don't think so. All the ones I've seen are dated 2015.
Same here!
Me too, all 2015.
So any new of these notes, I presume most were destroyed, with a few examples kept for museums.
I haven't heard of any, let alone one for a museum - a question for the RBA. I know they have a museum but I'm not sure how comprehensive it is.
Has anyone seen one come up for sale? Apparently some were released into circulation but I'm skeptical.
No. Have never seen one for sale on Ebay.
