Hi all,
I just thought I'd put up some of the notes I've found recently (given in change). I'm no expert on note but I noticed the AA serial numbers and thought I'd keep them to ask the wisdom of the forum. They all have folds etc in them as you can see from the images. Are they worth anything? Are they worth keeping?
I don't know much except I like them but I doubt very much or it will take a really longtime for them to be worth more than face as dealers just don't want to know about us unless it's an error or something very special..but if you like them hold on to them and you can do like i'm going to do soon and release them back into the pond when things get hard :)
If any had a decent serial number then it'd probably be a keeper. As for the AA03 032330, some people may call it a bookends with centre runner? I don't know. I'll take it off your hands above face if you're interested?

If you are interested in any goatieman shoot me an email/message and let me know :icon_e_wink:

If that has seen better days what about this. Just a battered relic from the past. These are based on Australian currency value. Thoughts of invasion intentions. !!

AJ that is quite a way off centre. A great note. Im sure Goatieman will be a little jealous at least.
If he likes it we might be able to make some soft of deal :)
Matter of fact, I've got it now ......

you've had one too many as it's VG your after mate..good try tho :winkextra:
Yeah, I know AJ, I just couldn't resist posting the VB though ........
Got a AA04 & GB04 today and both have to go back to the pond ..... sad but true ..... close was a SE 09 ...... sob :cray:
NOOOOO, I feel for ya mate :cray: and now the poor little blokes will never be the same once the go back :(
I just got a AA07 $50 note from the ATM , Worth keeping it looks Unc ?
If its UNC then I would keep it for sure trout.
I pulled an UNC '07 $50 from an ATM today, or so I thought. Ended up using it to pay for this sack of $2 though. I was showing the teller and noticed it had a flick mark. :(
Still, at least she now knows why not to do it I guess, so its all good.
I've found a few first prefix notes in change or from the atm. Most were $50 notes so sadly they end up back in the pool. Just too much money to put aside (for minimal profit at the moment)

And you really don't want to see the hundreds... :dodgy:
Found a relatively worn 1983 $1 note in a book I bought from the swapmeet a few weeks ago. Been keeping it in my wallet since and thought I could use it for a game of pool. Things didn't exactly go to plan... :P

You are supposed to fold it up a bit more.!!!:angel:

That slot is for the coins silly. Look for the NOTE slot, it has to be there somewhere...........

Note slot... on a pool table...
You don't get out much, do ya Goldy? :angel:
Of cause I do. Every time I to pool I take my swimmers and towel and have a swim...........
Not sure whether my haul today should be classified under "Notes I've found", but while conducting my weekly 20c/50c exchange with the local branch of the CBA, I casually enquired whether they had any old 1s and 2s handed in that I could exchange. The teller advised that he had about $45 worth.
I was rather excited but confused when he brought back a box full of notes. Oh well.
I proceeding it exchanging $65 for 3 x $1 Johnston/Stone (one of which was my first DPS), 21 x $2 Johnston/Fraser (4 dead ones), 2 x $5 Fraser/Cole, 1 x $10 Fraser/Cole no PIL. I was very surprised at the condition of some of the $2 notes. Very few marks or creases.
I'll be going back tomorrow for the remaining $10 notes and $20 notes. There were a heap of $50 and $100, but they are a little too expensive for my tastes.
Happy to pick a few of them up if someone wants to do a one for one swap.

I'd be in that. How many?
I could probably handle up to $500 at a time. You can decide if you want $50s or $100s.
I don't know how many are there so potentially I could keep going back until they were all gone.
I went to my local Westpac branch today and asked if they had any old notes. They had $58 in $1s and & $72 in $2s but were most were either torn or in poor condition. Nothing worth keeping.
I am not really a note collector but have a few that I bought at CV -75% a couple of years ago.
Now worth Face Value +10%!!
Have recently been checking note numbers and have come across $50.

Has this any value to a collector?

I also got one from the bank recently. I still find it hard to believe the note is already 6 years old but still brand new.

depending on condition.. Have a look in a renniks or Maccas book. other than that I can't tell you as I don't really buy them, just keep what I get from bank or change.
One upside of switching to lower denomination sacks is I got a fistfull of notes back... Not much to write home about though... A AA and a 5-digit radar. *yawn*

Yes lacey I find it amazing both coins and notes can be around for so long and you can still find good one's in the pond but then on the other hand I come across so many things that are RS now like my first 2012 $5 yeterday that looked like someone had used it as toilet paper..a new note trashed and same as some coins..it's all very strange but than so am I :)
My mate who works at Bankwest had a customer deposit a 'grey ghost' $100 note and he managed to get it for me, my first one!!
Always loved the design on these notes.!!!
I read something interesting the other day. Apparently the RAM has stock piles of coins and when more are needed they release some of those coins, no matter what the date is. I have no idea if that's true but.......
Probably - no point in letting perfectly good coins go to waste.
Well they did with the 1983-84 20 cent coins.
Hm, good point. Still, maybe there's more to the whole 1983 and 1984 20c story - after all, why melt all those good coins and then make more in 1985? Maybe they'd already been delivered to the Reserve Bank.

Hey Sulla did you get my PM?
I'm in England at the moment and I changed back some pounds to get $1240 in sequential $20 notes. They were all AD 08 100 xxx serials but unfortunately no radars. Also got $220 in sequential $10 notes DC 08 848 xxx but no radars either.
I was lucky enough to get this in change today from the fruit market.
Now there is nothing special apart from the fact that it's an 1993 note
I have not seen any of these for quite a while in fact I had given up finding any more of them.

It will go nicely with it's cousins.

Good find.
I found two a couple of years ago but they showed every bit of 15+ years of circulation so I didn't keep them.

As you can see this one is quite good, I hang on to them all.
I must have every shade of blue to grey.
They were my favourite note.
I got a 1997 $10 recently - it had seen a bit of use and had some texta pen on it but not too bad considering it's 26 years old.
I'll hang on to it.
I got a BK 94 $20 note from an ATM a few weeks ago but let it go. Then today I got a PD 94 $20 note from a family member's change - not quite a PE 94 but as close as I'll get most likely.
My Renniks 24th edition unc value for Coombs Wilson Ten shillings R16L last prefix -AF/19 is $6,650.00. My new 32nd edition says $20,000.00. Printing error or increased value due to rarity??.
That's quite a leap! I haven't really paid any attention but is the note market heating up that much?

Not much happening with raw predecimal notes. High grade predecimal TPG graded notes 63-66 are slowly on the rise, especially one's with a PQ designation.
Yeah okay - I can't say I watch the sales closely but I guess it's not surprising the TPG sales are up.
