GREAT BRITAIN - Five Pounds 2015 (2016) new Polymer note first prefix AA01. A controversial note as it has now confirmed by Bank of England that the new $5 notes contain traces of animal fat in the form of tallow. Because of this, not many people are happy with this. Tallow fat is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat. The company that supplied the polymer materials for the Bank of England notes is Innovia Security, which is also the same company that supplies the same materials to all Australia polymer notes. In fact, Innovia Security provides polymer materials to 78 denominations in 24 countries. It is hard to please everyone, not even with money!

SWEDEN - 100 and 500 Kronor. I have added these two notes to my previous post. Like those previously posted, these two notes are also printed with the prefix B. According to the central bank website, Letter A notes were printed in 2013 (50 and 200 Kronor). Letter B was printed in 2014 and Letter C in 2015. As this new series was first released in 2015, it is not sure if a full set was issued, however the 100 and 500 Kronor were not reported then until 2016. In October 2016, both the 100 and 500 Kronor were released but mostly with Letter C. It should be noted that signatures for Letter B and C are not the same. Here I have a complete set of the B series all with same signatures.

Footnote:
Stock Take - My collection has now reached a record of 4,995 pieces (as at 30.11.2016) excluding duplicates or extras. However based on my expectation, it is unlikely that I will hit my target of 5,000 pieces by 31.12.2016. The best I can achieve is 4,999 pieces. So close and yet so far away . . . . .
30.11.2016 = 4,995 pieces
15.12.2016 = 4,998 pieces
31.12.2016 = 4,998 pieces
