After maybe a couple of thousand of these notes finally got one from circulation.

What's the serial number? Saw a few posts that it's a pretty low number.

I've only found one too. Good work

My mate handed to me for shrubs and I told him of the notes potential importance. He didn't care.

"Money's money, mate!"

Nice, still haven't seen one here, though I don't think any have been reported in South East Queensland.

I got my first Lowe/Fraser 2019 $20 in change somewhere in Brissie yesterday. BI190024285.

Condition is reasonable, very light fold.

Mines where from circulation but I don't think they have any fold prefix was DI and CJ

What makes it the long signature variety?
What distinguishes from "short" signature?

It's the actual length of the signatures.

Lowe/Fraser is the long signature, and Lowe/Gaetjens is the short one.

My son gave me a 2nd Lowe/Fraser $20 note last night, 2 very prominent folds unfortunately.

Still a keeper though.

Serial No. BB190048922

That is very sweet of your young fella.

I'm still hunting for my 2nd.

Happy with the 1 I have but another 1 or 2 would be fine.

A couple examples for you.

$20 2019 Lowe Fraser

$20 2019 Lowe Gaetjens

Nice, I'll have to keep my eyes out - I'm sure someone said they were only in Victoria but clearly they're spreading.

Looks like around 10 million of the old and 173 million of the new: https://www.coincuriosity.com/view/...ar-note.html
Not overly rare.

Interesting. Thanks.

I wonder if we can trust those figures.

Numbers are from the Reserve Bank website - I'd hope they're reasonably accurate.

Do they use the same serial numbers but with different prefixes?

i.e. AA 19 0189258 and EA 19 0189258
