These first year of production polymer notes truly are a vanishing collectible.

People see them as key issues and most are put away long term for investment.

The more often they are sold on line, the more handled they become and the quality of a lot of them is ever diminishing.

This is a very clean bank fresh example and stands out for its fantastic cleanliness,

A great opportunity here to gain a lovely item for your portfolio.

Watermark: With the introduction of the new polymer bank notes we saw the end of the customary watermark. It was replaced with a Variable Optical Security Device in the bottom corner.

 

History

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)

Polymer banknotes were developed in Australia to replace paper banknotes with a more secure and more durable alternative.

The BOPP substrate is processed through the following steps:

Opacifying – two layers of ink (usually white) are applied to each side of the note, except for an area(s) deliberately left clear;
Sheeting – the substrate is cut into sheets suitable for the printing press;

Printing – traditional offset, intaglio and letterpress printing processes are used;

Overcoating – notes are coated with a protective varnish.

BOPP is a non-fibrous and non-porous polymer. Compared to paper banknotes, banknotes made using BOPP are harder to tear, more resistant to folding, more resistant to soil, waterproof (and washing machine proof), easier to machine process, and are shreddable and recyclable at the end of their lives.
