Well just how common are they still?
Apart from the occasional late 90's polymers, I was surprised to receive a 1994 $20 note today - not a PE :p but so close to a radar...

I occasionally see $20 notes from the 1990s. I saw a 1993 $10 note last year and a couple of 1990s $5 notes in the last couple of years but they were well and truly the exceptions.

1994 $20 seem to be fairly common, presumably because they printed so many of them but it is rare to see any other 90s $20. The only denomination I regularly see 90s notes is the $50.

Its pretty common for $50 and $100 notes. 1994 is pretty common for $20 notes. I have seen a couple 1993 $10 notes and not seen a 90's $5 for a long tme

Yeah, there could be 1990s $100 notes in existence than those made this decade.

Had a few 94 $20 this way as of late
Otherwise 02 onwards but 98% are 2007/08
$50's. 30 % are 1995. Rest between 03-08
I got a 2010 $100 today first I've seen

I found a Fraser/Cole (1992 I think) $5 note on the weekend.
I think I had a late 90s $10 last week too.

I've encountered a few late 90's $5, but a 92! What state was it in Mr T?

Queensland (South East to be specific). And it's my second in two years too.
The last one was in pretty decent condition while this one had some ink scratched off. But it was still a very good find.

Got a very nice 1993 $5 in change on Saturday. It was a coin shop and the dealer had just purchased a bunch of decimals. This note was not quite good enough to put in his stock book and he needed to make change.
Lucky me.

I recently went to the currency exchange booth here in Canada and got $2000 for my trip there. I have a few 90's bills (20, 50, 100's) Any years/first two letter prefixes I should look for before they get spent? Thanks

$20 you should look out for PE94
$50 you should look out for VG95
Any thing that is AA is a first prefix also

In addition to what enworb has suggested, with the 20's, DA95's are also worth looking for.
$50's DA96, JC97 and JC98.
$100's, check for 96 test notes, or CF98's

Thanks! Ok for 20's I have AF96, II07 (thought II looked cool? LOL) And an AA02 but thats in pretty used condition.
50: VA95
100: AL96, AG99, GE99, EK96, EB96, DF96. Those are all the "older" notes I have. Any of those test notes? =)

Test notes were issued with first letters A through C, with a second letter between N and S ie AR, BP, CN etc
