Hi everyone,

I am very new in observing Australian dollar note.

Just happened to receive these 3 notes from a friend of mine.

Questions 1: I noticed different signature on 3 of the notes. Is that normal and where can I find more information about it.

Far left serial starts with AE, middle is CI and right side is FI

Question 2: Does the ink smudge (I don't know correct term/ name) on the far left note worth any premium? Serial starts with AE

The Governor of the Reserve Bank changes now and then - as does the signature on the notes. Te first two numbers of the serial number of the note tell you the year of print of the note.

Thanks for the info

So, do you mean that if the serial number is for example
AE 09 796414

The bank note was made in 2009

And starts with AA till ZZ (depends now many they decide to print)

And the 6 digit number at the back starts with 000001 till 999999

While in the topic of bank notes, what should I be looking out for?

Example error or particular year or serial number?

Carl, if you don't already have one, I would recommend picking up a recent edition of Renniks Australian Coin & Banknote Values as a useful reference.

I am not a collector of notes and don't follow the numbering/lettering - but I do know that 'radars' are often collectible. That is where the serial number reads the same backwards or forwards.
EG. 134565431

The second prefix letter only goes to M (except for some test notes in 1996 and 1997 and some notes in sets in the late 1990s).
The RBA website has signatory information somewhere from memory.
