Australia 2002 Twenty Dollar Charity Sheet Note McFarlane / Henry R#420a Uncirculated CA 02 000000
This particular charity sheet note has an incredible line of text in the top margin.
To the uninitiated, polymer __Charity Sheet" notes appear to be a new type of specimen note - as with the polymer specimen notes issued between 1988 and 1996, each charity sheet note features __000000_ÔøΩ after the serial prefix, so the initial confusion is understandable.
Charity Sheet notes are not specimen notes however - they served a different purpose, were distributed in a different manner, and are rated differently by collectors.
Even though Charity Sheet notes are not specimens, they are quite scarce and are very collectable in their own right.
This particular Charity Sheet note was sold via an RBA charity auction in February 2002, and is one of just 40 notes with a 000000 serial number from this year.

As the images above show, this particular note has a quite incredible line of text in the top margin of the note. I certainly haven_Ôt seen something like this before, and can_Ôt imagine it being seen as part of the design of a banknote from any country other than Australia!
just who Mick and Doug were remains to be seen - at first I thought they may have been the middles names of the two signatories of the notes, however Ian McFarlane_Ôs middle name is Elgin, while Ken Henry_Ôs middle name is Ross.
I_Ôm quite certain Mary Reiby_Ôs middle name was neither Mick nor Doug, John Flynn_Ôs middle name also remains a mystery.
Based on all of that, I conclude that Mick and Doug were two of the staff at NPA during 2002, their names perhaps indicated who was responsible for a particular phase of production. It certainly is a more interesting way of determining responsibility than just using a number or oether code.
