Numismatic Arrangements

Banknotes are a popular collectable and offer an interesting perspective on Australia’s culture, history and values.

Many collectors aim to build a collection of banknotes based on serial numbers or signature combinations. Recent Australian banknotes include the year of manufacture in the banknote's serial number, enabling collectors to acquire banknotes based on the year they are produced.

The following information is provided for those interested in collecting Australian banknotes.
