Very old bank notes in good condition.

Ok, I just checked on Google, they were around during 1990.

That means they are nearly 20 years? 

the year they were printed is usually shown on the note itself. Check the serial number and look at the first two numbers.

According to Wikipedia these notes existed from 1966-1992...

One of the serial numbers: RHJ 539685

hmmmmmm..........

lol, maybe they're extra special government prototypes of the notes to be introduced in 1966 that were made 13 years earlier

i'm guessing the note was made in 1953? well currently that's how the system works. The first two numbers of the serial number on a note determine the year it was produced. Not sure if this basis of determining the year a note is manufactured was functional back in the 60's or 70's.

Recently I was clearing a storeroom which contained plenty of my parents old stuff, and happened to come across these old Australian bank notes. Are these still accepted in stores? What shall I ddo with them?

If thats the case, then:
$5 = 1972
$5 = 1983
$10 = 1983
$20 = 1953

Sounds right, but 1953?? A bank note over 50 years old...

i don't see why not.

i don't see why not.

If it is 20 dollars, then it can't be 1953, because the Australian Dollar was first issued in 1966.

well they may have not used the system of serial numbers etc to which it would be harder to determine the production date.

You have to use the $6 to send the item I guess...

[AppleXY]

Eh, It's not really that valuable. If you can keep it for another 50 years, then I guess it will some value, if not exchange it at a bank.

Yep, that's what I'd do.
