boydle Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi I just got some cash from the bank and found 2 new $50 Australian notes they have the same serial number but a different prefix eg EL 08144829 GB 08144829 Is this something people are interested in? and if so is it worth the bother of trying to sell the notes as a pair? Both notes are AU-UNC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

see323 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 It is quite common to find them especially for polymer notes. Sometimes, there may be even be four to five pieces with the same serial numbers with different prefixes. I have quite a few of them when I went through the Singapore polymer notes in stacks some years ago. Yes, some collectors do collect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few of them when I went through the Singapore polymer notes in stacks some years ago. Yes, some collectors do collect them. People do collect matching serial numbers, but usually, it is different denominations. In fact, matching serial numbers of a series is a reasonably major area of collecting, so much so that the issuing Banks occasionally put out special commemorative sets. In the US there is also a tradition of collecting matching serial numbers of a particular denomination/series from all the issuing banks (there are 12 Federal Reserve Branches which issue notes in US). Having said the above, there will likely be people who may go for what you have. What is the condition of the notes, if the notes are UNC or AUNC, you are likely to see some interest.

boydle Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 The notes are AU-UNC. I will have a go at selling them on ebay or here on the forum see what happens. I can always use them if they do not sell. Thanks all. Anyone interested in making an offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
