How do the letter prefixes for notes work?
Taking the example of the 2010 $20 note from here: http://www.rba.gov.au/banknotes/col...o/index.html
do prefixes go from AA to AM, BA to BM, CA to CM and DA?

I would presume as the numering goes from highest to lowest, the lettering would be the same.

Yeah okay, but for standard runs, does the second prefix letter not go beyond M?

2nd letter prefixes do only go to M.
In 1997 there were some $5 test notes: AN - DN
In 1996 there were some $100 test notes: AN96 - CS96

These test notes were put into circulation, but they don't show up very often. I've found one $5.

Okay, thanks. Is there any reason it stops at M?
I've only ever seen one of those $5 notes too, but I think I've seen 10 or so of the $100 notes.
