Macedonia's polymer series arrived late relative to regional peers — most neighboring central banks had made the switch years earlier. This 2018 issue from Australian Note Printing sits within the bank's broader modernization push, but the more pointed detail is the inscription itself: the note specifically names the "Republic of Macedonia," a designation that became politically untenable almost immediately. The Prespa Agreement, signed in June 2018 and ratified in February 2019, renamed the country North Macedonia, rendering this issue constitutionally obsolete within months of printing.
Short-lived state-name notes tend to accumulate collector interest quickly, and this one had a hard expiration date baked in before the ink dried.
