It’s hard to understand the number of logistic gears that have started to rotate after Queen Elizabeth II’s death on September 8 this year.

Existing banknotes featuring the Queen will remain in use, and new notes featuring King Charles III will only replace damaged notes, the Bank of England said in a statement.
The new notes are expected to be in circulation by mid-2024.
This is not the first coin with a new King image produced — A 50 cent coin with Charles’ side is on the market.
