Auction 25th June

How does someone put together sets of notes with matching radar numbers like that?
Dont they end up all over the place after they are printed?

Exactly as FNQ presumed, here's an example of $5.
For $5, each sheet contains 40 prefixes. I can confirm the top left 4 prefixes from a block of four that I have. From this I'm certain the rest of the sheet is laid out this way:

$5	1	2	3	4	5
1	BA	BI	CD	CL	DG
2	BB	BJ	CE	CM	DH
3	BC	BK	CF	DA	DI
4	BD	BL	CG	DB	DJ
5	BE	BM	CH	DC	DK
6	BF	CA	CI	DD	DL
7	BG	CB	CJ	DE	DM
8	BH	CC	CK	DF	EA

Once the sheets are cut and bundled, how does someone get sets like this?

Ahhh.
That makes sense.

Peter, I think what the RBA was doing was allowing themselves to have half the alphabet (N-Z) for testing/trials & etc. The standard prefeix system at this point in time is A-M (13 letters) & N-Z is also the same amount of letters. This may have made it easier when they were utilising these notes for testing, where as soon as a serial of ?N through to ?Z would come through then they'd pick it out quite easily.

Downies were selling via auction prior to 2007 (which means pre-2007 solids & etc will be easier to buy in UNC whereas I think notes after 2007 & after will be much harder to find. (So Downies, the RBA & NPA would have all been making good coin...or note).

Now you can buy notes from the RBA...with big bucks & pot luck. There's nearly a 35% mark-up on first & last prefixes, not to mention the additional costs for credit card & their lovely $16.50 postage charge. That's why I was mentioning buying a big lot together if anyone wants. I know what I want. Here was my original post:

I would say that the way they are cut wouldd reflect notes behind one-another...i.e: 000001, 000002, 000003 etc. The prefixes would have been sorted out by sheet form rather than notes. I'd love a sheet with solid serials any day.

But as Penny Dreadful said, the distributors are probably loving life, but we're yet to know.
