    Hi Folks,

    Unfortunately granny's stash was one and two dollar Australian notes, not PM's.
    Does anyone know if they have any numismatic value?

    They appear in good condition, clean and most are still "crisp" to the feel.

    If they are worth a bunch, where would I cash them in.

    Thanks in advance,
    Southerner

    Guessing need a trader to inspect them.
    Which state?
    Melbourne = Downies. ACT= Edlins. Sydney=Right Note. Should be able to Google something like "trade banknotes" or "numismatic" etc.

    here there everywhere
    Just spend them
    They have to be Like NEW for a start
    And COMM OF AUST the earlier notes that are worth any real $
    The AUST ones you have (depending on signatures ) aren't worth anything
    But you might get x2 face value at a market

    Do not get rid if them. some could be worth over $1,000 each if the signature is a Coombs Randall and/or if the serial number has a star next to it, visit a coin site like CCF and they will give you advice, I advise grabbing 1 if each signature type and posting pics, cheers

    You should try to use them to pay for stuff just for the reaction you'll get from shopkeepers

    Looks like Knight/Stone - no value to be had there.
