Title: Note valuation
Post by: Heyman_526 on March 15, 2021, 08:25:49 PM
Hi I am just wondering if I can please get some assistance? I received 2 notes in my change that I feel might be a bit special. I was wondering if I can get a valuation please? I'm trying to work out if it's worth keeping them or just spending them?

The first one is a $20 note from 2019 it's not a double letter but quite a low manufacture number in circulated condition.

Note 2 is a $5 note from 2016 it is a double letter but quite a high manufacture number also in circulated condition.

They both present reasonably well.

Thank you very much for your time.

If the $20 2019 note is a Lowe Fraser signature combination then it is a keeper.

Thank you for your advice. I am having trouble with the signatures but I believe that is Phillip Lowe's signature at the top.

That is indeed a Lowe Fraser signature combination however not all of them are worth hanging on to. There are a LOT more appearing in circulation now so unless it is in very good condition or a first or last prefix, you can probably just spend it.
If holding $20 isn't going to cause you any significant loss, put it away for the future.

Just select 2019 from the drop box.

Thank you very much I did have a quick look and compared to how many were made mine is still a low number in that production so I am going to put that one away I think. Thank you very much again.

I received a low mintage number AA $20 in change from Woollies on Saturday. Serial AA 190005312, has a few light folds but not bad for a 4 year circulated note.
