. But seriously, you might be better posting in the main forum or even Canadian forum, as people there may have a better idea of where to get them. Bit hard to advise where to buy from this side of the world.

Not a lot of Coin stores in North America carry Australian Banknotes
I can tell you the old story about purchasing them on line, but I have found an even better way.
In the mall near me is a currency exchange.
At first I would purchase an amount of Australian Dollars every so often.
then I would sell them back to them. I was only losing about a dollar at a time on the two exchanges. After I had completed this transaction about 6 times the Currency exchange person agreed to not put me through this and orders Australian currency on a regular basis and allows me to look through all of his banknotes.
I only buy the ones I want. and I only pay current rate of exchange for them. He has also started to take in circulating Australian Coins from customers - (normally he does not purchase any coins) and he "gives me the coins' I am interested in.
So find and develop a nice currency exchange employee or in North America you are left to the on line dealers, ebay and trades through the forums
Don't lose hope there are some great people out there willing to help.
