s – from WWII to the New Millennium! Last decimal paper notes… Representing the end of an era in our currency history, this unique set comprises Australia’s very last paper note types – all presented in strictly Uncirculated quality! Australia’s last decimal paper note types are distinguished by the ‘Australia’ banner, which replaced the ‘Commonwealth of Australia’ banner on all notes from 1973. By the 1990s, issues of durability and cost-effectiveness meant that all paper notes had been supplanted by either coins or polymer. A key part of any Australian collection, these notes are also sought after as a lasting memento of the way things used to be. Increasingly scarce in the pristine Uncirculated condition apparent here, the set includes the $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 – signatures of our choice. 1973-91 Last Decimal Paper 7-Note Type Set Uncirculated
