AUSTRALIAN HISTORY 1901 TO 2001

As Seen Through Banknotes

Bankruptcy, greed and misdemeanours (All the ingredients for a good read).

Set against a backdrop of social, political and economic turmoil this book reads like a best selling novel - both colourful and turbulent, it spans over 100 years of major events that made our nation.

Drawing on previously unavailable information and images from the Reserve Bank of Australia Archives, this volume provides a lively account of the historical events that shaped our currency - events leading to the Federation of Australia in 1901, the World Wars, a succession of British monarchs, and the emergence of nationalism that made our currency truly Australian.

With the foreword written by Ian McFarlane, former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, this limited edition leather-bound, full-colour book with slipcase makes a wonderful gift.

Co-authored by renowned US collectors and philanthropists, Dr. Edward and Joanne Dauer and our own John Pettit, this journey through Australian banknote history is so engrossing you will forget is all true!

The superb production values and the overall presentation of this remarkable tome set it apart from all other numismatic publications seen in this country.  Needless to say the feedback about this volume have been 'rave reviews'.
