What is the value of a 1994 Australian paper Twenty Dollar note with red serial numbers starting AA94 like a polymer note but in red?
The last paper Twenty Dollar notes were issued for circulation in 1993, the first polymer notes were issued in 1994. Your banknote is possibly a part of one of the several different types of "First and Last" sets issued (not intended for circulation).
The paper note you describe seems to have been issued as a collectors item either as a single paper note or together with the new polymer note, both in a presentation folder. The problem is that neither of them are described as having red serial numbers and the note may also have an inscription on the front.
They are definitely a collectible and, in mint condition and the original packaging, could fetch up to $350 AUD.
I suggest you take your note to a reputable coin dealer who will be able to positively identify it for you and give a more accurate valuation.
