Title: $3 and $7 notes
Post by: JeffH on August 31, 2026, 10:41:36 AM
I have a number of the Fiji $7 Rugby 7s win commemorative notes but I never knew there were Australian $7 notes.  :shok:
Never legal tender or issued to circulation but the story interested me.

Interesting you should mention those, I saw them on Facebook a couple of days ago.

Thanks Jeff, that was an interesting read. Think how much those test notes would be worth to collectors.
I bet a few disappeared in production.

Security would have been rather high but it would have been tempting to half inch a few samples.
