nd2012

2026

Papua New Guinea - This is a commemorative polymer note of 100 kina that was released on 28.01.2026 to celebrate the first anniversary of the passing of Papua New Guinea's second Prime Minister. Sir Julius Chan. Sir Julius Chan died on 30.01.2025 in Huris, New Ireland Province. Following his death, the government of Papua New Guinea declared a week of national mourning.

nd1985/2002

Western Samoa - Posted here are the four specimen notes that I have in my collection. I am missing the 2 and 5 tala specimen notes. It is believed that these were first introduced in (nd)1985 for the 10 and 20 tala, and the remaining two notes, 50 and 100 tala released in (nd)1990. The notes posted here are the third series since the country adopted the 'Tala' currency from the 'Pound' series. Samoa adopted the 'Tala' currency on 10.07.1967 at the conversion rate of 1 tala = 10 shilling (2 tala = 1 pound)...

1990 Prefix BBB

New Zealand - Here, I have posted 8 out of the 10 notes for the 1990 $10 commemorative notes celebrating the 150th year of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi (1840-1990). These notes were first released for circulation on 14.08.1992. This is the first time that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has issued a legal tender banknote commemorating a historical event in the country...

nd2018

New Zealand - Here I have added the $5 2018(nd) polymer note to my previous post. This note bears the signature of Governor Adrian Orr. Whilst this note is printed with the year date of 2018, not many of these uncirculated notes were made available to collectors until recently. Only three notes were printed with the signature of Adrian Orr for the 2018 issue, thus completing my collection for the 2018 reprints...

nd2020 reprint

Western Samoa - Here, I have posted 8 notes all reportedly issued in (nd)2020. There are reprints from previous issues but not sure if these were newly printed banknotes or these were derived from reminders of old stocks. All notes are printed with watermark features, presumably the same as those original issues. I have a very strong feeling that these are newly reprints and not from the old stock.
