Prior to the introduction of Phonecards into Australia, a series
of specimen cards were produced for publicity purposes. These cards
were made out of cardboard and were used for educational purposes
and to show the potential for advertising. Beware of forgeries of these cards. The genuine cards have a notch and are of better quality colour.
