What is Note Scout?
Note Scout tracks asking prices for Australian banknotes listed on eBay, updated every day. Whether you collect pre-decimal pounds and shillings or modern decimal polymer notes, Note Scout gives you a real-time view of the market — across denominations, conditions, and trusted sellers.
We scan eBay listings daily and organise notes by denomination, era (pre-decimal 1913–1966, decimal 1966–present), substrate (paper or polymer), and condition grade. Prices shown are asking prices from active eBay sellers who specialise in Australian currency.
Use Note Scout to benchmark a note before buying or selling, compare prices across multiple sellers, or track which denominations are currently active in the market. Browse by era, denomination, or seller — or use the filters to narrow by grade and substrate.
