Note One:  2000 Sydney Olympics 45c Gold Medallist Herb Elliot digitally printed essay pair of sheetlets of 10. This very rare "essay" was used to test the digital printing machinery prior to the production of the gold medallist's sheetlets which were issued the day after the gold medallists won their medals. (Herb Elliot was the winner of the 1500 metres in Rome in 1960). World class rarity with only 2 other pairs known.
    
For the Olympic Games held in Sydney in 2000, Australia Post produced digital stamps overnight for next day issuance. Sixteen sheets were produced, one for each Gold Medal winning Australian athlete.
    
These digital stamps were printed on Fuji Xerox 40/40 copiers, in Fuji Xerox plants and offices in each state. Each copy centre was supplied with sheets of A4 size, pre-perforated and gummed, stamp paper. The sheet had a roulette down the centre, to facilitate its separation into two A5 size sheets of ten stamps. Thus the A4 size sheet was a production format, and it was Australia Post's intention that the A4 size sheets be separated and sold solely as A5 size sheets of ten.
    
Between each sheet of stamp paper was an interleaf of standard copy paper, printed all over in black. This interleaf was necessary to stop the sheets of gummed stamp paper sticking together in the heat of the photocopy machine and damaging the drum. The interleaf paper was printed black prior to use because the stamp image was printed not only on the stamp paper, but also on the interleaf sheet. By using black paper the stamp image was largely obliterated and there was no risk of mistaking them for real stamps. The black interleaf sheets had no purpose other than to stop the stamp sheets sticking together in the photocopier; it has no conservational value as claimed by some people.
    
The mail order (Philatelic Bureau) quantity of A4 sheets were all separated into sheets of ten and the interleaf sheets were destroyed. Hence, A4 size sheets of Gold Medallist stamps or the black interleaf sheets were not officially available from Australia Post. However, as the interleaved sheets were not necessarily separated and cut down in this way at Post Offices, they do exist as A4 double sized sheets with the interleaf given away as a bonus item by postal officials. These are very scarce items and are not very easy to come by from dealers.
    
The sheetlets were printed in the States of Western Australia, South Australia (who printed some for the Northern Territory), Victoria (who printed some for Tasmania), New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Queensland. A small Australian creature like a kookaburra or koala printed in red in the margin identifies the State of origin. These digital stamps were available from 70 nominated Post Offices within 24 hours of the medal being won. Quantities printed were: New South Wales, 135,000 stamps per medallist; Australian Capital Territory, 55,000; Queensland, 65,000; Victoria, 105,000; South Australia, 60,000 and Western Australia, 55,000. Of the total printing of 475,000 stamps, some 35,000 stamps were reserved from each print site for mail orders and orders after the Games.
