The story of the establishment, operations and demise of the Provincial and Suburban Bank (P&S Bank) really is a study in how not to run a bank - most notes by the P&S Bank seen on the collector market today were in fact not issued legally, but made their way into circulation after the bank went into liquidation. One or more people associated with the bank obviously chose to prey on the lack of knowledge of their fellow citizens by "passing off" unissued notes from the P&S Bank as legitimate notes - equal in value to any other such notes in circulation at that time. These notes are generally undated and signed by people other than the men known to be managing the bank at that time. While they are certainly not the rarest notes from Australia's pre-federation period, they are without question an excellent type note for the collector working on a budget.
