Hi Donnaa,  to CCF! Now, firstly, I should explain, I don't collect notes so I'm not too sure of how to interpret the info from Maccas, but I'll give it a go for you. It looks like there's two colours of serial numbers, 1. medium to dark green & 2. light green, so based on that, the values might be: 1. VF $10; EF $18; Unc $55 OR 2. VF $20; EF $40; Unc $95 I know nothing about how to differentiate between the colours, but as you've got 10 consecutive notes, I'm sure the value will be affected in a positive way.  Hopefully, someone more versed in Aussie notes will have some even more encouraging news for you.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Why not Eddy?
I find if I buy a few notes of the same denomination and signatures at the one time, they invariably end up being consecutive numbers. However I don't believe this adds to the value at all. Some people pay a premium for consecutive numbers, I wont. But then again I don't really collect notes, they just get put away for the kids or retirement, never to be seen again until that time.

These are first prefix notes from 2007. Polymer notes always use the first 2 numbers to designate the year of production. The only polymer notes that break this rule are the very first 3 printings of the $10 bicentennial banknotes. Still as a run of first prefix notes you may want to hang on to them for a few years as they will really start to take off in worth in the next few years. Nice pickup. Edited by Noteworthy

$5 polymer notes Released ages ago, approx late 80's prefix and numbers are - AA 07 420 645 to AA 07 420 654 I've just re-read this thread and as I'm now a little more informed than I was back in Jan 08, there are some things here worth noting.  There were no Polymer $5 notes in the 80's. As far as I can ascertain, the first Polymer $5's were printed in 1992 and the prefixes started with AA00 and ended with AB19, so the First Prefixes for those were AA00. Signatories were indeed Fraser/Cole so that's what Donna's notes are, as that's the only year for that combination for Polymer $5. So Donna's notes are not first Prefixes.  They're also definitely not from 2007, as all First prefix serials for $5 since 1993 begin with BA. A first prefix $5 for 2007 is BA07. All other denominations of Aussie Banknotes since 1993 do in fact start with AA, just not the $5.
Edit added 21 April 2010: There was apparently some 1995 $5's that had AA95 as the First prefix, AA95 210000 to AA95 010001, but they were the only AA serials for $5's since 1992, and there haven't been any more since. Maccas 2010 Catalogue Values for Pale Green serial $5 notes from 1992: VF $20; EF $40; Unc $110 life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

If the serial numbers look like this:  -: then you have notes from 1992 with Fraser & Cole signatures. The serial numbers range from black to light/pale green (like the pic above) with variations in between. Light green serial numbers attract a premium as does the fact you have a run of ten, so bonus points to you! Cheers Simon. |
