We Sell Rare Uncirculated Twenty Dollar Paper Banknotes

Australian Banknotes Book

The introduction of decimal currency to Australia in 1966 was unequivocally one of the biggest changes ever made to the Australian monetary system.

Australian $20 notes were issued from 1966 up until they were replaced in 1994. Some notes can be particularly valuable with the right serial numbers or if in mint condition, prices for a single twenty dollar note can reach up to $19,500 for the rarest note in perfect quality.

The 3 decades over which paper decimal banknotes were produced provides collectors with a large variety of notes to collect, as well as a number of different ways of accumulating them. Some collectors like to buy notes with certain first or last prefixes in the serial numbers, others like to collect star replacement notes, while others still look to buy all of them. Printing errors on banknotes generally didn't happen too often, so notes like that can command big dollars.

Australia’s transition to polymer technology in the 1990s resulted in a vast increase in the number of collectors of paper decimal banknotes. As this broad demand base continues to increase in financial capacity and numismatic sophistication, collectors will go on to purchase rarer and higher quality notes.
