Looks like they are skipping the $20 and do the $50 next.

It was all over the news here last night. Giving a little detail as well

For the $5 and $10, I get a whole bundle from RBA and pick out a few.

Getting a bundle would be quite expensive this time. They only take EFTPOS of $1k so if you are after a bundle you need to rock up with $4k in cash.

That's very secure, isn't it? My advice is to get lots of hundreds from another bank so they don't give you strange looks.

Someone is already selling first prefixes of the new $50 on Facebook for $85.

$50 banknotes are not a popular collector note
I'll wait for the $20 that will be awesome

Mister T · September 23, 2018, 07:14:51 AM

So the Reserve Bank are advertising folders now but haven't specified which year the old example will be.

Mister T · September 30, 2018, 06:33:21 AM

Apparently the folders will contain 2016-dated $50 notes as the old example.
Still haven't seen one in circulation and I'm guessing I probably never will.

I think that's a mistake. My analysis of the pictures I saw back in February show that the first sheet will run from AA to EA, the second sheet from EB to IB and the third sheet (if printed) from IC to MC. Hence, the last prefix must be EA, IB or MC, depending on how many sheets are printed for each serial number. In order to replace all the $50 notes that are currently in circulation, they would need to print one and a half sheets, so I think IB will be the last prefix. :ok:
