Polymer First And Last Issue, Test Notes.

goatieman23 everything you have said is spot on regarding the pros and cons of collecting polymer. It seems there is no place that will realise the estimated catalogue value of these type of notes at the moment, hopefully it will change though with the state of our economy that doesn't seem likely anytime soon.

I am a coin collector and aside from my one first prefix $50 note I don't have any. I was thinking about this the other day and had a few questions.
- Why are first/last prefix collected over others? I gather it's just the done thing?
- What if one day collectors decide to collect the 'in between' prefixes. Say, AA, BB, CC, etc. These notes would be far more scarce in high grade due to them not having any collector value today? Do people collect the 'in between' prefixes?

some people do, like all collectors, each has our own 'thing' I suppose regardless of monetary value, like stamp collectors that just like butterflies etc. the in between prefixes would as you said aa bb cc be seen if someone collects the same serial number in each prefix from a certain year so they might have a run of 5 or 10 of the same note from same year, or same prefix and serial of all denominations from 5 through to 100 from same year. just like lotto numbers ppl like to collect their initials and birthdates, I think anything goes really. maybe it depends on the motivation of the collector if its more a hobby for the thrill of collecting or purely for the monetary value, personally I havnt got that far yet all the variables do my head in at times
