No I think the whole point of a banknote is to save money and gain signorage, that is why the suppressed silver and gold issue, as the price was increasing. It was better to issue the coins in another metal than reduce the current metal as in the past.

I have a couple lightly circulated ones.
But the idea of Australia taking this polymer (plastic fantastic) technology was to get much more use out of a note. They can circulate four times longer than paper notes before disposal, which in many ways would make them a lote cheaper in the long run & there are now well above ten countries in the world using them & they are all produced/printed at our local Note Printing Australia (NPA).

You can tell the first issue by the serial numbers. After the letter prefix (AB) there will be two numbers (from 10 to 33 for the first issue). The following two numbers will be a 93, 94 or 96.
So a serial number will look like: AB11 94 1234.

At one stage these were in circulation from memory Yes they were definitely in circulation, although they were also massively hoarded. The hologram on the note was one of the much advertised security devises. However once the word got out that these holograms weren't very durable people started to deliberately destroy them. So in the late 80s it was common to get one of these notes in circulation where someone had deliberately rubbed the note to destroy the hologram. Presumably that is why the hologram never made it to the polymer notes issued in the 90s |

i have 2 of the 1988 bicentenary three coins / three notes sets and they have this 1988 $ 10.00 note in them and they have them sealed up in the folders with a
$ 5.00 and a $ 2.00 note also and 3 proof coins 2 x 5 x 10 dollar coins also ,, going by the value of the sets bought at $ 129.00 ea it looks like it would be better to break up the sets and sell seperatly going by the prices just now ,..

PPH , looking at macc,s book the $ 2.00 last prefix at $ 75.00 ea
it seems the best way to get more for the set is to break it up , should not be hard to get another $ 45.00 dollars for the $5 and $10 dollar in unc , but what a shame to break up such a set ..
yet some people do that with no conscience at all ,,.kel..
