    Fairly new round here, but I have a large collection of banknotes, including an entire set of Australian Decimal Paper notes from 1966 onwards in aUNC to UNC condition bar 3. Have been collecting about 4-5 years now, just adding a new note every fortnight or so. The C/R $20 is around 3K uncirculated though so I've been holding off on that one haha.

    $20 Coombs Randall
    $1 DBP Test note (technically 2 if you want both types, which I do haha)
    $50 Knight Wheeler Center Thread.

    Other than that, I have a couple of proofs which I particularly like. but mainly notes.

    Welcome! Nice I have a C/R but it is circulated so not sure if you would be interested in that.. I had 3 in sequence which brought a pretty penny :)

    welcome josh,

    good job with the paper decimal notes, looks like you will have to start on the

    polymer notes.

    if you have trouble finding the remaining notes , shoot me a message,i have them in a/unc+ unc.

    Welcome!

    Banknotes are easier to store than precious metals.

    I have uncirculated polymers taken out of circulation, if they look in good nick I stick them in a folder. At one time I had 25 uncirculated, sequential, last prefix 2008 $100 notes, all perfect, catalogue value of $175 each, actual value of $100 each.

    I also collect hyperinflation banknotes, banknotes with overprints (revaluing and re-denominations) and Community Currencies from around the world. Starting to get too many but I can't help myself, fiat with an intrinsic value of $0, my guilty pleasure.
