Best Answer

Australian banknotes have never had the date or year printed on them.

To get an approximate year, you would need to know the names of the Governor and the Secretary as printed on the notes, the serial number, the denomination of the note and possibly details of the design.

Since 1993, the year of printing has been a part of the serial number as the new polymer notes were introduced, for example, a serial number beginning with "AA 95" indicates that the note was printed in 1995, "JF 09" indicates that the note was printed in 2009.

The last two digits of the year, are the first two numeric characters of the serial number.
