Notes:

The Fraser/Cole signature combination with a serial prefix of ZLD were the last one hundred dollar notes printed for circulation prior to the introduction of circulation one hundred dollar polymer notes in 1996. The notes were printed in March, 1993. At the time, demand levels for new circulation $100 notes were low. Most collectors were caught by surpise when, three years later, it became clear that no further paper $100 notes would be printed.

The note was included in 2,000 First & Last $100 Embossed Deluxe Folders released by Note Printing Australia.

The ZLD prefix 1991-96 Fraser/Cole $100 Paper note was also included as the final note in each of 75 uncut full sheets sold by NPA.
