What year are the old notes in the folder? The most recent $20 notes I've seen are dated 2013.

:scratch_one-s_head: Not sure what folder you're referring to. On the Banknote Serial site 2013 is the last year $20's were made.

I got a $20 AA13 note in change yesterday that was in good condition. Looks like it is a keeper.

Same here. I got mine earlier in the week

Not too bad condition

I was wondering what year the old-style notes in the folder with two notes are - if 2013 was the last year the old-style notes were made I guess that's it.

This site has the 'blurb' re the folder on it under "Numismatic Banknote Arrangements".

The pre-order photos on 2 of the linked sites show an AD10 and an AB19, but this is by no means definitive!

The new generation $20 is a generic specimen photo, and it could well be the same for the old gen note as well...

Many of the new $20 notes on Ebay so far appear to be using the same images and as far as the 'old' notes go it may very well be wysiwyg. No last series notes that I can see. Only AD10 as per Shire.of.Douglas's post.

I'm not interested in getting any, just looked out of curiosity.

'Images courtesy of the Reserve Bank of Australia' so that explains why they're all the same.

Mister T · October 13, 2019, 11:40:01 AM

Now that they're out does anyone know at what prefix the old signature ends and the new signature starts?

eBay always hosts grubs
Go to RBA in Canberra or Sydney to get the new $20 if interested
Don't bother buying the folders from a dealer they have already cherry picked the serial numbers

An interesting snippet for dedicated Note collectors.

QuotePlease note that the new $20 banknotes have been printed with two different signature combinations: Lowe/Fraser and Lowe/Gaetjens. The reason for this is that an early print run of the new $20 banknotes commenced while John Fraser still held the position of Secretary to the Treasury. The signature block was changed to reflect Philip Gaetjens' appointment prior to the commencement of the full production run.

It sounds like Lowe/Fraser could have low or ''low-ish'' production figures.
