Enworb...it's a yes &/or no scenario.
MY LIKES
It's the first prefix of our first $100 polymer note
They are becoming scarcer & scarcer because the population have taken them out of circulation
It will be worth something, but not for many more years, it's frustrating but it's a buyers market.
MY DISLIKES
The $100 have only had 5 print years, whereas all of our other notes have had at least 10 print years.
It's a 16 year old note & the catalogues don't put any emphasis on lower grade types
$100 notes aren't used often enough for spending...only 2/3 of the total $100 notes have been released into circulation.
My issue with the $100 AA96 is that it accounts for almost 0.5% (0.47) of the current circulating $100 notes. Realistically, theoretically, that's an assumption that the likelihood of finding one would be close to 1-in-200 $100's checked.
The fact that people are only really buying high grade examples.

To me any $100 AA note in exceptional condition is just like a standard $100 test note...there's a lot out there but people only want the scarcer ones.
I'd tell you to reinvest, but with $100, there's only so much you can do with it, but at the same time, so much you can do with it.
