This might be a stupid question but has anyone seen any of these?

I seen that on the banknote website but have never seen any 2018 $5 notes

[Mister T]

Nothing yet - I don't remember when it was added to the website but there was discussion at the time and I don't think any have been seen.
Trevor Wilkins normally notes the appearance of new notes in CAB and I don't recall him having seen one either.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised because when they did the 2016 initial release there were nearly ten times the usual amount of five dollar notes printed due to the increase in serial numbers so they probably still have a stock of those to release. The 2018s must be there for when they finally run out.
All part of the Reserve's massive printing project.
And it took till 2019 for the 2017 Hundred dollar notes to be released.

There is new $5 notes for 2019 out now. Signatures are Lowe / Kennedy

[Mister T]

None in circulation yet though right?

[jens coins]

Yes on ebay now

[gweidion]

Ooh, I'll have to have a look, thanks.

[jens coins]

You need deep pockets for them

[gweidion]

I must be doing something wrong in the searches cause all I am seeing is $20s and $100s.

Looks like our 2018 and 2019 $5s have gotten a bit mixed up.

Haven't seen any sign of 2018 $5s.

[Mister T]
