ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 10:33 pm At the Alamo Coin Club show today, I picked up a pair of Australian Pre Decimal notes, for $17.00 US. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 11:36 pm G'day, they're both nice examples, and a great price. in the Australian system, they are catalogued as "R" numbers: R30 Armitage & McFarlane, 1942~49: I've seen a lot of these coming up in the USA. I suppose they were brought back as souvenirs by the many U.S. servicemen who spent time in Oz in WW2. R34 Coombs & Wilson, RBA 1961~65. This was the last pound note before decimal conversion in 1966. The latter signature combination is the longest in Australian history: 1952~66. They span KG6; QE2 pre-decimal; and all of the first issue of decimal notes in 1966. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 08/25/2007 11:40 pm Very interesting! Thank you Peter. I have a One Dollar note from '66, with the same Coombs Wilson signatures on it. That's one of the reasons I chose this R34 note. I figured they would be close to each other in time of circulation.
