<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 25739575, member: 130786&quot;]<b>New Zealand </b>is the little neighbour of Australia &amp; has a similar relationship that Canada experiences with the USA.&nbsp; The small size means a much smaller issue of banknotes (like Canada) &amp; as such, makes this nation worth collecting. I really like their pre-decimal designs as well but I won&#039;t stray off topic! </p><p>The first series to feature QEII was first issued in 1967 &amp; lasted till 1981. Most of the first (Flemming) &amp; some of the 2nd (Wilks) signature varieites can be elusive in higher grades. As the series progresses, the &quot;c&quot; (Knight) &amp; &quot;d&quot; (Hardie) signatures are fairly inexpensive &amp; readily available. </p><p><br /></p><p>To start off:</p><p><b>P-163c</b>: $1.00 Solid Radar with Knight signature:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1644227[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>(It just so happens that 2 years after I won this note, I bought its &quot;sister note&quot; C24 111110 blindly from Allen&#039;s Coins!
