AUSTRALIA - The is the 2nd denomination for the Next Generation of new polymer note. This note was released on 20.09.2017. As expected, the first and last prefixes are AA17 and EA17 respectively. Notes issued in bundles are quite often mixed with 2 or even more prefixes together. Unlike the previous $5 issue in 2016, this note was made available to everyone around the country on the first day of released. The next issue is expected to be next year, however rumour has it that instead of the $20 denomination, the Reserve Bank may issue the $50 first. This is due to the level of counterfeiting on the $50 denomination circulating in the economy. It has been reported in the past that the level of counterfeiting on Australia banknotes was quite low since the introduction of polymer notes in 1992.
