This note arrived recently as part of a trade with Latman100. Thanks Sean!  I like Australian Aboriginal art, and this is a great start to collecting polymer notes!  |

If you are interested, the note you have came from a Commemorative Issue Folder. They number from AA00 to AA23 and are dated 26th January 1988. All the circulation notes started at AB10. Cheers SPG.

G'day,
one of may favourite notes.
For those who don't have one: if you're patient, they often go on "the'bay" for $20 or less.
I'm not into "investing", nor "speculating", but in my opinion, this is a note that will grow in value, if any modern note will.

Also, there was two releases of these notes in 1988 because of a printing fault.
The first release starts at AB10 and is denoted by the next two numbers being 93, 94 or 96 (ie AB10 93XXXX). These numbers are the only way to distinguish them from the second release. The last prefix of the first release is AB33.
The second release also started at AB10 but finsihed at AB57. The rest of the serial numbers are "as usual".
Cheers Simon

I've got to get one of those next.
Funny enough, when I started law school in the summer of '96, one of the first cases we learned about in property law had to do with the portrayal of the "Morning Star Pole" on this note.

G'day WpgLwr,
have you got a citation for that case, please ?
A friend of mine was a criminal defender, but he got dragged into a civil action over this note. I think that there was more than one case, but.

Hi all, I'm also a big fan of this note and bought one for my dad a couple of years back. It was only $13 and in UNC condition from a guy at a flea market. The most interesting part is the fact the bottom edge is cut with a very slight curve to it. At first I thought someone had taken to it with a knife or something but with a bit more research apparently this was a fault from the mint with some of these notes.
Does anyone else's note have a similar concave bottom edge?
Cheers.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

thankyou Sap, for those with nothing else to read, or do, here are the links to the two reports of the case: Re Terry Yumbulul v Reserve Bank of Australia; Aboriginal Artists Agency Limited and Anthony Wallis [1991] FCA 233 (4 June 1991) http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/...991/233.html- a procedural point Re Terry Yumbulul v Reserve Bank of Australia; Aboriginal Artists Agency Limited and Anthony Wallis [1991] FCA 332; 21 IPR 481 (25 July 1991) http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/...991/332.html- judgement Judge FRENCH, as he then was, had earlier been Chairman of the Aboriginal Legal Service of Western Australia (1973-75). Subsequently, in 2008, Judge FRENCH became Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia. Peter in Darwin Edited by Peter THOMAS

Sorry, I never checked back to see these reply posts, to be able to post the citation.
Sometimes, if you need to get ahold of me, it can be better to send me an e-mail.
As I recall, we found the Yambulul case interesting enough, and then we went on to Mabo.
