    1. Hi Ollie
      Yes it’s genuine.
      It’s out of a folder for collectors.
      No value apart f rom the $10

    2. Hi Sarah
      Sorry buy they are just General Prefix Notes
      Wiyh a mintage of over 10 million
      Sorry.

  21. I have a $10 Australian bank note with red serial number AA93000612, is this genuine?

    1. Hi I have a $1 note in mint condition with the serial number DGR012345 is it worth anything

      1. Hi Scoyt
        Really nic note
        ItYou have a 1982 Johnston/Stone
        General Prefix $1 Banknote.
        This is why collectors will want it iespecially those of Serial Numbers
        You have a Ascending Ladder 012345
        If mine iwould have it graded and Auction it. If thinking of selling be careful a few shady dealers and they will tru and short change you . I can’t put a value on it but I think it’s worth a bit of money. Getting it graded will add value and Auctioning it more people
        Good Luck and again nice note.

    2. Red serial was printed for serials AA93000101 through to AA93001000 and issued in collectors edition folders. AA93000612 is one of the first $10 polymer notes printed, has the first prefix AA, and is part of the 900 red serial collectors edition.

    3. Sorry Ollie I made a mistake a little further down this page you will have your answer.
      Once again my Apologies

    4. Hi Liza
      Would need the Serial Number
      Cheer’s Ron

  22. hi i have a mint $50 note serial is CE14000004 and also have another $50 note serial is NA09693218 but it has what looks to be an overprint stamp of some sort that reads “CV” with a “G”underneath it? also it appears to have been in the note when printed not stamped on it at a later stage if that makes sense? it is also stamped just above where the bottom serial number is positioned? cheers

    1. Sounds like the stamp you’ve described is a “chop mark”, these are used primarily at money exchanges as a method to confirm the notes have been checked against being fake before accepting / banking.
      These types of stamps have been notes in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colours etc.. unfortunately as a collectable they’re just damage to the note, and would lower the value of found on a desirable note

      1. oh really? am i able to send you a picture of it in someway so you can see what it looks like? and what about the other note i mentioned mate? cheers

        1. Sorry missed the other note, general prefix s/n 000004 would be very sought after if in perfect condition. Any notes under #10 tend to sell for a premium. Value would come down to condition but it’s not uncommon for very low digit notes like that to go for double face value or more.

          You can send me a picture via my submit-a-note page, but I’d suggest have a Google for “banknote chop mark” first as it’ll show heaps of different examples, it’s pretty unlikely to find the same ones but they are all usually small stamps and easily identifiable, as it’s not a part of the minting process there is no collector value (unlike date over prints or specimen stamps etc…)

          1. no problems i thought you miight of missed the first note i mentioned and its mint crispy condition not one single flaw or crease or mark on it!! :) :)
            i will have a google search and see what i come up with and will get back to you mate cheers for your replys too

          2. my very low serial note is also signed by stevens and martin does that make it even better?

          3. hi mate iv searched for the chop marks found none really and none that even are close to the one i have the ones iv found are actual ink stamps where as mine isnt where do i find the submit a note section so i can send you a couple of pictures? cheers sorry for the heap of msgs too 😬🤦‍♂️😂

          4. No problem, http://banknoteserialchecker.com/tool/australian-banknote-checker/submit-a-note/
            is the page, send through there and I’ll have a look

        2. 👍cingrates’s

    2. I have a 2021 star note B00135538*

    3. Your mint $50 is worth. More than face value. Especially being a low numbered serial.

  23. Wow thank you what a fun site. My crisp $100 bill SN mb 22222583 a , has some value.
    I will keep using the site.

  24. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE VALUE OF MY LAST PREFIX $50 NOTE SERIAL IB184947503

    1. Hi Shane, Value is mostly tied to condition, there are a few things to consider for IB18 $50 notes, this is a high printrun year, which makes these more accessible. In most cases they will be face value unless uncirculated condition, or sold with a special serial type (radar/repeater/solid etc..), or in consecutive runs.

      The best method to assess value is to check your note against eBay SOLD values, and find sales that closely match your notes condition, hope this helps

  25. Checked a 50 with barcode GM11964935, said it was rare because of the low mintage. Would it be worth valuing it?

    1. Hi Cole’s If Matt hasn’t already told you
      Sorry you have a completely normal nothig Special or rare $50 worth %50 Sorry not better news.
      Rob

  26. I checked the serial number of a $100 note on here #JK99916526 and it says due to being a last prefix, 26 years old and a low mintage (165k approx) this note is much more wanted than others… Would it be worth having this note Appraised and valued or is it still only worth around face value?

    1. Hi Rodnay
      You have a 1999 Last prefix.
      With a low print run depending on condition $250 – 350

    2. Why would u not believe the worth u were told

      1. Some people don’t want to hear. That’s why I don’t usually value note’s. Because I can’t d ee the condition. ( even everyone say’s there’s is perfect. Obviously they have never meet a serious Banknoyr collector. But they only as much as someone is willing to pay .But JK prefix pretty popular so was confident with what I said..

  27. I have a 1988 $10 note prefect condition serial number AB23963569 would it be worth anything

    1. Hi Maggie I just had a quick look , it’s a first issue general prefix bicentennial $10 note .with a print run of 30,000 so not that common or rare. Best if ya chat with Matt when he’s around .I’m more a coin guy but I’m sure his expertise will help ya out.
      Rob

    2. Bicentenary $10 it’s worth a bit more than $15 if in good condition up to $75 uncirculated. Johnston Fraser normal prefix 1st issue
      (Renniks 22nd Ed)

  28. I have a ah99999376 $50 note is it worth anything

    1. It could be to the right person. It aint rare and thing’s are only as expensive as some one is willing to pay. Got a couple of thing’s it’s old 1999 and a triple binary registration number 5 x 9’s bit nothing spectacular.

  29. Hi, do you have a checker for pre decimal notes ?

    1. Hi Ross, not at the moment as still working on the coin checker and some information updates, however have had will look at adding pre-decimal information soon, thanks

  30. I have x5 $2 AUD notes with prefix LLZ with the following serial no #506084 – 506088, + 50+ $2 AUD and other notes (i.e Bi-centennial $10 notes and $1 notes, would they be of much value?

    1. If Matt hasn’t already had a look
      I be happy ro gave a look at the other notes but need serial numbers. Your 2 $2 were pretty normal.
      Rob

  31. We have a pair of CS 69****** $100
    Dollar Australian dollar bills among some money and uncle had left us

    1. Hi Ian
      Really need the whole serial number you can try it yourself.on the serial checker.

  32. Hello. I have a 1988 bicentennial aboriginal Australian $10 note with the security number of AB50725277. Can you tell me it’s worth? It is in relatively good condition. No major folds, but a few crinkles.

    Thank you, Randy Winsand

    1. It’s a pretty high serial number probably worth $10 but something to keep. And it is now 37 YO

  33. I have an old $100 Australian paper note serial number ZFQ 273737 but I couldn’t find it in banknotes serial checker. Would you kindly find out. The signature is Higgins and Frazer. Thanks

    1. Hello Piseth Prak , I put your numbers in the checker and it came up as 1990 $100 general prefix . Try to put the serial number in again , it worked for me.

    2. I found it nothing special .you were close with the serial number. To bad it wasn’t 373737 would of made some differance.

    3. He’ll o
      I did your, $100 ZFQ27373736a few weeks back and I dont know why but i think might have missed something I was having a look but now it want’s the signatures. If Matt hasn’t had a look would you mind if I had another look just to be sure
      Rob

  34. Australian $5 paper note – the serial number is nothing significant (PFT521000), but the cut/print on the signatory side of the note is not symmetrical. Would this be considered more valuable?

    1. Well that’s a first for me. I was just checking some serials today and came across a polymer early year $5 note with the green serial and date marked on it 7 July 1992. After putting all the details in, a most unsuspecting result came up which I know is quite possible especially when it comes to display notes. Anyway try it out and see if u also get the 1988 bicentennial $10 note as your result. Nothing major as I said especially when it comes to uncirculated notes removed from collectable displays.
      Cheers

      1. Hi Jeff, sounds like your getting a $10 1988 result from your $5 serial # due to being a collectors issue note, (indicated by the date overprint, and likely a low serial #).
        I haven’t got around to adding all the collector issue ranges in yet however it will be in a future update, so most notes with the date overprint, red serials, specimen serials etc are yet to be updated.
        Currently this tool focuses on notes meant for circulation, but always happy to help with info if collectable note serials provided

        1. Thanks for the info it’s greatly appreciated. As I mentioned in a previous comment I love your work and its amazing how far this site has come along over the years. Not sure if u remember me we have emailed each other in the past. I am pretty sure last time we spoke it was about an old $2 note I ha e that had none of the black print on 1 side or it mat have been about 1 of my many star notes. I remember u saying u may need some photos in the future for one of your projects u were working on which I would be more than happy to help out with. Feel free to email me, thanks again.

  35. Hi Cameron . Not same . 15 $1 notes paper consequence numbers uncirculated $2 same . $5 six and couple tens and 50 .

  36. I have a bundle of 100 of these uncirculated notes in mint condition. Are they worth much more than the $100 total face value? Many thanks in advance

    1. They are only worth face value. You may find someone that might want what you have, but don’t expect to make much profit from it

    2. Hi Lee
      I just saw this and even ytho it’s been 6 months have you still got them? Because depending on age condition serial numbers they can be worth good money. If y a got Commonwealth of Australia Note’s even better. Because I t n ink you were givien the wrong advice .so if still got em let us know.

  37. What would be the value of 10 consecutive $1 bills be

  38. Is There any chance I can get a value on 8 consecutive $20 notes in crisp unsurculated notes please.

    1. Hey Darren, you need to know the letters and numbers , you can check them on this banknote serial number checker , press the ebay link and go to sold items to give you an idea of what you have.
