Hi Members,
I am doing a bit of a clean up and came across my mothers coin collection from just before decimal came in.
I will be posting some of the Australian coins 1911-64 in another thread but I also came across these consecutive $2 notes.
I have been a war medal collector for a number of years but have never dipped my toes into coin/paper collecting.
Can anyone inform me if these notes are particularly unusual or desirable to collectors?
Can a year of printing be determined from the numbers?
Is there a value in the collectors market for such an item?
Thanks for any responses.
Hi and welcome :welcome: :wavemulticolor:
Your $2 paper notes are Johnston - Fraser Signatures,
printed about 1987.
The last print Serial No LQG before the $2 coin introduced 1988.
Not particularly scarce, yet. The future might bring a return :whistle2:
Hi Coinbeginner,
The year is in the signatures with paper notes , your notes are Johnson/ Fraser so they are the last $2 notes ever made in 1985,people do buy them but they only have a catalogue value of $9 each so your only likely to get $10 to $15 for the pair if your lucky.
Thanks for the reply Gentlemen, I didnt know that the signatures were significant, I learnt something new.

The Serial No prefixes are also very important.
The first print of that signature combination :-
Prefix KRQ is worth a factor of Ten X a standard issue.
The last print
Prefix LQG is worth a factor of Five X a standard issue.
Worth in $ terms is very variable especially for
this the Last of the $2 notes.
1000's have been put away.:dodgy:
