FX.co ★ Sale of Australia’s first banknote expected to get AUD 3.5 million

According to ABC News, Australia's first banknote, printed in 1913, is expected to sell for a record amount (AUD 3.5 million or $3.6 million) when it goes to private sale next month.
The 10 shilling note was hand-numbered by governor-general Lord Thomas Denman's 5-year-old daughter Judith Denman, with the serial number M00001. She got the note as a gift from Austarlia's prime minister Andrew Fisher on May 1913.
The note was found tucked away in a book in England in 1999 nearly 12 years after Ms Denman's death. It was last sold in 2008 to a private coin and note collector for about $2 million, the highest ever paid for an Australian banknote or coin.
The note will be displayed at the World Stamp Expo later this month in a hand-crafted wooden box worth $10,000.
The Australian pound was the national currency from 1910 to 1966 in Australia. In 1966, a decimal currency, the dollar was introduced. In 1988, the process to replace banknotes made of paper with polymer started. The measure is aimed at counteraction against forgery.
