I cant seem to figure out this $5 note for the life of me. The order of the signatures is flipped, and I have no idea if this is an error, test or normal note...
Well, I cant seem to find 2005 $5 banknotes in the Kraus catalog and this design was only on the 1992-2001 $5 banknotes, atleast thats what Kraus 1960-Modern Catalogue from 2010 shows, but thanks for clearing this up :)
The same design has been used from 1992-2008, but every year though, 92,93,95,96,97,98,02,03,05,06,07,08. The early notes in 92 & 93 were pale in colour, and the note was re-coloured from 1995 on. Any missing years indicate that Australia did not print $5 notes in those years.
There was a 'special' Centenary of Federation note for 2001 with a totally different design on both sides.
I think the info in Krause is often very in-accurate or in-complete in certain areas.
life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
