When polymer technology was introduced to Australia's circulating currency between 1988 and 1996, worldwide demand for Australian notes sky-rocketed. Note Printing Australia (NPA) introduced a range of collector products featuring the last of the old paper notes and the first of the new polymer notes, and these were hugely popular.
One of the most enduring products released by NPA between 1992 and 1999 was the annually dated sets - they included one of each of the polymer notes printed in the year of issue, were only ever issued in limited numbers, and were in fact the only product that was consistent over the entire 7 years.
The deluxe folders are popular with collectors that are interested in getting notes that have the serials with the same colour as those issued for circulation, while the premium sets are bought by collectors that want notes that are easily discernible and much more exclusive than those issued for circulation.
The 1998 Deluxe Annually Dated Set includes the hugely scarce 1998 dated McFarlane Evans $5 note - none were ever issued for circulation during 1998, so only a few thousand of them exist and the only way collectors can get them is by buying one of these folders! This set also includes the AA98 $100 note, which is the first prefix $100 for the McFarlane Evans signature combination.
