Original prints were on thin and shiny paper with sticky gum (it leaves noticeable fingerprint marks upon touching).
50¢ and $1 reprints in 1999 show similar plate number as the earliest print:
1A. However, the following year printing shows the year along with plate number.
Earliest recorded plate number for 50¢ is
2005/01. Before this 2005/1 50¢ reprint (variety), there is at least one more reprint (variety) - the paper is rough at the back of the stamp and the gum is not as the original print of sticky gum.
For $1, it is believe that there is at least one reprint - similar to the rough paper/gum as that of the 50¢ green reprint.
It is also suggested that 10¢ and 20¢ have also the rough paper/gum reprint.
Only 5¢ is known without any reprint.
