In addition to the above specifications, the new $2 note product also is:

• Protected by a clear, acid-free polymer sleeve
• Housed within a 2008 commemorative folder

The price for one note will be $7.95. Discount pricing is available at $6.95 per note for orders of 50 or more. There is a limit of 100 notes in place per household.

Other reserve bank notes will follow throughout 2008.
