History

Plate Identification Letters are tiny letters found on the Australian banknotes in nearly all paper decimal note denominations. The markings were mainly to assist with quality control. Plate Identification Letters were due to be phased out in 1990. During the final run of printing the 1993 Fraser Cole $10 banknotes one of the 3 plates got damaged and was replaced by a plate bearing a PIL. As there were three plates on the printing drum only every third note was printed with a PIL. As a result the final 1991 year of production is split into 2 Renniks categories, those with and those with out the plate letter.
