8 Digit Radar Note - 2005 $50

FNQ - I would really love a 99 999999. Were they released? I believe they were. 999999 serials sell for a lot more than other solid serials, being they are the highest serial number, whereas 000000 are generally used as specimens or shreded into tiny pieces & sent off to a plastic recycling plant.
Back in 1999 the following notes were possibly produced (but I can't confirm this, I might have to email Mick Vort-Ronald):
$50 (5 x runs), that means there could be 200 x $50 99 999999 serials
$100 (4 x runs), that means there could be 128 x $100 99 999999 serials

As for the potential of 11 111111? We will see when the statistics are released.

Some more stats for you.
I received an email from Trevor Wilkins regarding the 99 & 11 solid serials & he believes they do exist out there.

Anyway, the circulation life of an Australian Polymer note...
I read something in the Good Weekend magazine about $20 notes. The question was how long would a note last in circulation?
.

...
The answer was 12 years! My belief of this is because our polymer notes don't disintegrate with water, they don't tear, they can handle more hands, more creases & on top of that, they have the best security features in the world!! At least they're my reasons for being a passionate polymer person.

Ok, ozcoins, I don't believe that they'd be any of the solid 9's in 1999 left. Surely people (collectors & non-collectors) would've noticed the serial numbers & held onto them for no other reason than it looking very pretty!

Stats for the notes printed in 1999:
RBA's figures combined with RBA's circulation figures combined with the 2011 Vort Report states (statistically & theorectically based on figures) that there would be the following amounts of notes circulating:

THE ANSWER IN A NUTSHELL IS THERE'S STILL STACKS OF 1999 POLYMERS

1999 $50: 41,843,580
1999 $100: 91,189,917
I've done my own mini report (Gort Report perhaps), which showed:
11.5% of 1999 $50's (based on stating since Feb just over $45k)
38.9% of 1999 $100's (based on starting since Mar just over $25k)

As for the BIG deciding answer!
There would have been 200 solid 999999 $50 notes in 1999 (originally a 1 in 812,399...not cool...)
There would have been 128 solid 999999 $100 notes in 1999 (originally a 1 in 779,124...darn...)

See...now that I've done that...I need one

We might have to see if we can pick up a 11 111111 this year!

I would love the $100 JK99 999999...the last note of the century! That would be NICER than nice.

But we can't always get what we want. I was lucky enough to purchase an AA05 777777 for $500 (gVF/aEF) a little while back.
I'll let you know the stats for those are very rare too. I'm not going to explain the formula because it varies alot because of the amount of notes released in a print run.
$5, 14 runs = 109
$10, 10 runs = 69
$20, 12 runs = 96
$50, 13 runs = 110
$100, 5 runs = 41
So overall, there's 425 polymer first prefix solid serials (excluding specimens, which aren't legal tender anyway)
As for the last prefixes:
$5 = 73
$10 = 47
$20 = 72
$50 = 63
$100 = 17
So overall, there's 272 polymer first prefix solid serial's.

Likelihood? Near impossible...sorry everyone, but then again, don't give up hope. The right contacts, the right attitude & the right amount of money & you could take over the world.

One thing I've discovered recently is on the coincommunity forums...the ESC button is a bad, bad, bad button...just when you've finished typing or you're doing something on the other screen & you accidentally press ESC, you lose everything you've just typed. I've done it three times today & before today I didn't even know that it did it.

I really would've liked to stumble upon one...then again if I order the first 111,111 notes from the RBA, I might be lucky enough to get one!!

Ozcoins, start collecting...you're only ONE NOTE away!

Just don't do what I did today...don't stat small coins...I've been through 1500 x $2 coins. I'm ready to replace my brain.

this is my lot ,
2002 $ 5.00 con numbers
