Released in July 2007, Australian History 1901 to 2001, As Seen Through Banknotes is the culmination of years of research and dedicated work by the three authors: Joanne C. Dauer, Edward A. Dauer, and John Pettit. Framed within the history of Australia, the banknotes issued by numerous authorities are illustrated in incomparable quality. Commencing with a gallery of pre-Federation notes, the book continues with the first notes issued by the Commonwealth, followed by the pre-decimal issues and the decimal issues. Along the way, some of the more obscure and intriguing note issues of Australia are presented, such as the Hay Internment Camp issues, the Rabaul military issues, and the notes issued on Fanning Island.
The foreword to Australian History 1901 to 2001 was written by Ian Macfarlane, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia 1996 to 2006, and the book was produced with the co-operation of the Reserve Bank. Included within Australian History 1901 to 2001 is an array of specimen and trial notes from the archives of the Reserve Bank that are rarely seen and this is the first time these notes have been gathered together in one volume.
The notes presented in Australian History 1901 to 2001 include notes from the collection of Joanne and Edward Dauer, as well as unique and exemplary examples from the collections of leading Australian collectors. Displayed in high-definition colour on full-gloss paper, these rare notes have never been presented so well.
