What Can You Say About This

[Goldseeker]

A family member phoned me today re a $5 banknote, Australian, the one with the Parliament House on it, the Lilac one, and she is enquiring on the number of the note which is AA 16XXXXX.
I can't work it out, first issue, last issue or what.

Scans are on the way from Sydney and when received I shall post.

Info appreciated.

If it is the 92 issue ,which from what you say it sounds like it is,AA00 is the first prefix & AB19 so it's just a general prefix.
But if it's in decent condition these notes are still quite collectable.

Accu looks to be on the money. Worth a little more if it has light green serials.

yep third that motion as it sounds very much like one I have and I had trouble working out what I had at first as the AA puts you off but it's the first series, they look like they are faded and this was when the idiots worked out that they would run out of letters so they changed the letters so they start with AA and carry on. and to think these people get paid good money for great ideas that cost a mint to fix :mocking:

Goldseeker,

If you have a look at the following website:  http://banknotes.rba.gov.au/serialnumberinfo.html

and select 1992, you will see in fine print at the  bottom that the 1992 series were in alphanumerical order.

If you select 1993, you will see that they started on the year date series from 1993 onwards.

Cheers
