What will happen to the coins and bills where the queen appears?
“Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there is already a protocol that not only has to do with funerals, and protocols to follow. Within the London Bridge operation, it is stipulated that the bills of Elizabeth II will begin to be gradually and progressively withdrawn, and they will begin to be replaced after the appointment of the new monarch Carlos III, in a gradual manner, explains Claudia Serrano Solares, Postdoctoral student of the Academic Unit of Regional Studies of the Coordination of Humanities of the UNAM.
Although the Royal Mint has not yet shown what the new coins with the face of Carlos III will look like, one of these issued in 2018 to commemorate his 70th birthday gave a clue.
One thing that seems certain is that he will be shown looking the other way, to the left. Tradition dictates that the direction the monarch faces on coins should be alternated for each new monarch.
