1st January 2023 - Happy New Year

Fiji - This is a $0.88 numismatic note first released on 08.08.2022. Posted here is the specimen version of the issue. 

2nd January 2023

Scotland, Bank of Scotland - Posted here is the £100 polymer note released on 09.05.2022. This is the last of the polymer series issued by the Bank of Scotland. This is the only £100 polymer issued by Bank of Scotland, as the other two banks have not issued one yet, and it is not sure if the Royal Bank of Scotland or Clydesdale Bank will release one either later. So far, the Royal Bank of Scotland have only issued a £50 polymer note; whilst Clydesdale Bank largest polymer denomination is £20 note.

6th January 2023

Vanuatu - This is the current 200 vatu polymer note printed with the year date of nd2020. It is believed that this is the only reprint for the current polymer notes series. The designs on the note are the same, however, the font used for the serial numbers are not. I have few spares if anyone is interested. These notes have low serial numbers and it came from the second bundle. AA20 is the first prefix of this reprint series.

13th January 2023

Pakistan - This is a commemorative note of 75 rupees, released on 30.09.2022, celebrating the country's 75th Anniversary of Independence from the British (1947-2022). Independence day is celebrated on 14th of August.

21st January, 2023

Fiji - May Prosperity Be Yours 願繁榮屬於你. In my previous postings, I posted the Fiji $0.88 numismatic note with FJ prefix, and a specimen note. Here I have posted the uncut sheets of 2 and 3. Happy Chinese New Year to all those who are celebrating the Year of The Rabbit 22.01.2023. Wishing you all the very best for 2023 Rabbit Year - 

祝你新年快樂。

恭喜發財。 大吉大利。萬事如意。出入平安。

平平安安。老小平安。步步高升, 和 生意興隆。

22nd January, 2023

Singapore - I have added two polymer notes of $2 and $10, both reportedly released in (nd)2020 and (nd)2022 respectively. The $2 is printed with two solid houses symbol on the back, and the $10 has a square symbol. It was recently reported in Singapore that the central bank decided to recycle used banknotes for the 2023 Chinese New Year celebration, but it is not sure if any other new notes (denominations) have been printed and issued. In general, new banknotes are issued about one or two months prior to the Chinese New Year celebration, to cater for high demand, unless demand is warranted prior.

26th January 2023

Australia - I have added the $5 polymer note printed with (nd)2018. Only two notes were printed in 2018. The other one was the $50 "error" note (Next Gen series first issue). The $5 note posted here have a normal prefix of DD18.

30th January 2023

Scotland, Bank of Scotland - I have added the £10 polymer note issued in 2017. This note has the prefix of BC, which is the last prefix for this series.
