You have some old Australian 1 2 5 10 20 dollar paper notes how do you tell when they were made?
Australian bank notes do not have the year of printing on them. Older notes can be identified by a combination of the serial number and the signatures of the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Secretary to the Treasury. From about 1993, the first two digits of the serial number indicate the year of printing, for example, AB 930123456 indicates that the note was printed in 1993. If it is a paper note and has the words "COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA" printed at the top on both sides, it was printed between 1966 and 1974. If it is a paper note and has the word "AUSTRALIA" printed at the top on both sides, it was printed between 1974 and 1994. If it is a polymer note, it was printed between 1994 and present day. To narrow it down any further, you will need to state whose signatures appear on the note as the "Governor Reserve Bank of Australia" and "Secretary to the Treasury". These two signatures change on alternating years, every two years. The Serial Number will help as well.

From a collectors perspective, all Australian paper banknotes were made from a specially manufactured and prepared paper with a smooth texture. All Australian banknotes had intricate watermarks and metallic strips running through them. The colours are uniform and not blotchy, the coloured parts of the notes end in a straight line at either side of the note. Apart from "Star" replacement notes and first and last prefix notes, most Australian One Dollar notes do not have sufficient collector value to warrant counterfeiting.
