Help us share the story of Australia's currency

Help us share the story of Australia's currency
This appeal closed on 31 July 2015. Any donations received after this date will be directed towards The National Library of Australia Fund, which supports conservation and digitisation of the Library’s collection.
The National Library is full of surprises, among them being a small but significant collection of rare colonial currency, including convict-era promissory notes (which took the role of a circulating currency when coins were unavailable) and the first Commonwealth banknotes created following Federation.
This year, the Library's annual appeal is seeking your support to research, preserve and digitise rare notes from our collection. The funds raised will bring new knowledge about these historically significant items to light, through the interpretation and description by a numismatic expert. Once this work is completed these treasures will be available online to inspire, delight and educate all Australians for generations to come.
