Banknote denomination beside 1,5,10,50 ,100,500,1000

lately i doing some research on the banknote year of production and I notice some patten.
For the old RM20 banknotes which is the brown one.
1st Issued start at 1982.
The last Issued begin at 1986.
Notice at 1995 all banknote have new issued due to new Governor but the new RM20 have not new Issued .
Mean by 1995 there is not more RM20 banknote are produce .
This mean RM20 new banknotes only Issued the most is 13 years. My guess is only 10 years.
For RM2 is (Starting from 1996- last issued is 1999).
At 2000, Tan Sri Dato' Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz take over as Governor . All banknotes have new Issued but only the RM2 not have.
If my estimate is correct RM2 new banknote only come out for 5 years.
Banknotes beside beside 1,5,10,50,100 are worth collecting because not many will be printed because it is not practical  for business.
Figure like 1,5,10,50,100 consider common .
Best example is the uncut banknotes.
If you look at the market , you can still see many RM1,RM5,RM10 uncut. But RM2 uncut banknotes you wont see many.
RM2 3 in 1 uncut banknotes.
