Message:: [QUOTE="Notaphylic_C, post: 25523130, member: 130786"]-Yes, you're correct: that was why I posted that 1935 $20 note. It is a small seal 1935 $20 (the most accessible example) but still very tough compared to the large seal (especially in VF or higher grades). Twenty Dollars was a lot of money back then & the 1935 series lasted only a brief 2 years. But I will get back to Canada later.  I started with Belize b/c I think its a pretty easy nation to pick up (in UNC). [USER=4626]@Troodon[/USER] you posted a lot of lovely examples.  I actually don't have that (last) $1.00 issued from Belize b/c it has been listed (on eBay) for almost as much as the 1980 version (which I think is crazy). So I picked up the 1980 version from Allen's of Ohio. I would say that after <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=belize_period&r=&ct=banknote&im1=&im2=&tbb=y&tbc=y&tbl=y&tbt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=931&no=&v=&i=&b=&ie=&u=&a=&dg=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&mt=&g=&se=&d=&c=&wi=&sw=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?e=belize_period&r=&ct=banknote&im1=&im2=&tbb=y&tbc=y&tbl=y&tbt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=931&no=&v=&i=&b=&ie=&u=&a=&dg=&m=&f=&t=&t2=&mt=&g=&se=&d=&c=&wi=&sw=" rel="nofollow">Belize</a>, 1970's Australia, Canada & New Zealand are fairly inexpensive for the lower denominations. I will approach this alphabetically from now on by going down under to- <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/australie-banknotes-1.html#r_australie1783" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/australie-banknotes-1.html#r_australie1783" rel="nofollow">Australia</a>. Australia:First came the P-30 "Commonwealth of Australia" text under the Governor & Secretary signatures (1953-1960) & then the "Reserve Bank of Australia" from 1961-1965 (P-34). Both are tough in better condition but the Commonwealth is the toughest. The "Reserve" easier example is the "pre-decimal" (pre-dollar) example below:[ATTACH=full]1634632[/ATTACH] Next are the dollar versions from the 1970's with the "Commonwealth of Australia" in the title. Here's the 3rd signature (P-37c) while the 2nd signature & * replacements can be the tough ones to find.[ATTACH=full]1634633[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634634[/ATTACH](Love the art on the back of these). Next up is P-50a the first polymer where QEII's image was now a permanent feature of their FIVES:[ATTACH=full]1634635[/ATTACH] These, like the "Australia" (1980) $1.00 are fairly easy (& inexpensive) to come by in higher grades.[/QUOTE]
