Also I have $1 0A 000011 in my collection and it shows signs of having been removed from a book. The matching $2 0A0 0000011 also has been sighted. |

Upon the introduction of the 'new' Hillary $5 in 1992 the RBNZ made a presentation to each staff member of a single $5 note in the packaging used for the sheets of four notes. This note was accompanied by a printed certificate that read: "Dear Staff Member, To commemorate the issue of our second decimal currency series bank notes, I am pleased to present to you one of the first 'Hillary' notes printed. Yours sincerely Don Brash" (Facsimile signature). It appears that nearly 500 may have been issued but it has taken nearly 12 years for one to show up. The note in my example is serial numbered AA 036339 |
