Today marks a significant moment for British currency as banknotes featuring the portrait of King Charles III enter circulation, marking the first time in history that the sovereign has been changed on Bank of England notes.
The new notes will co-circulate alongside those featuring Queen Elizabeth II, with the public expected to gradually notice their appearance in their daily transactions. In line with guidance from the Royal Household, the new notes will only be printed to replace worn-out currency and to meet increased demand.
