Collecting and investing in banknotes

There’s nothing like old money for making new money.

Banknotes are such a routine part of life that they often pass through our hands without a second thought. However, even a brief, enquiring glance at a banknote reveals a wealth of fascinating information. Currency reflects the social, economic and technological changes in Australian society, from the crude promissory notes of early Sydney to our present day polymer issues. They are a unique time capsule of exotic cultures and history in a world of increasing globalization.

Banknotes can bring their own financial rewards if carefully chosen, for a personal portfolio or self managed Super Fund. Thus that first considered glance at a banknote can lead to a lifetime of passionate collecting and investing.
