Hello KING CHARLES III RIP Queen Elizabeth
nuu

And what if the Queen outlives Prince Charles? I think it's pretty likely.
I think the Same would happen but then with William
East Pavilion-er That’s a very real possibility. However even if the queen lives another 10 years, Charles will be 80 and he might still be around. Phillip is in his 90s. I mean they’ve got the best healthcare money can buy...
sb.1264 free healthcare. But what they have are the best doctors in all of Europe
If the Queen outlives Charles then we'll have the joy of watching William's hairline slowly recede on our coins and notes. Archaeologists in the future will be able to date the coins they find by how big his forehead has become.
hope she does. I don't like Charles, he's uninspiring and has a punchable face.
Okay, if I'm being honest, I'm not even paying attention to the video. I'm staring at his editing, busy being amazed. The queen winking on the note, the stop motion, and the individual cut out letters. Amazing as always, Chris.
I expect King Charles banknotes will coexist for some time alongside the current ones, gradually becoming more common as worn notes are taken out of circulation. As for coins, while it's true that decimalisation killed off most of George VI coins, the one and two shilling coins remained in use (for 5p and 10p coins) alongside the new coins as they were the same size. I remember getting the occasional King George coins in change right up to the redesigned smaller coins came in. I believe the number of coins minted every year has been falling recently so it could be a very long time before the Elizabeth coins disappear. I wouldn't expect a large changeover event of the kind you get with notes.

PICK ME UP MOM, I'M SCARED
Holy sh*t
I'm pretty sure the two florin coin survived decimalisation and continued as the 10p coin, alongside newer versions, until the early nineties. Some of those two florin coins still had King George VI's head on. I'd be grateful if somebody could confirm this. Thinking about it, I also think the old shilling coin survived until the early nineties, too, alongside newer 5p coins.
Yep they did. Still got Victorian coins in the early 1990s...
There were no two florin coins issued since 1890. Four shillings was an awkward amount.
Unless you were confused about how many shillings a florin was?
Two.
Actually I recently found, in my wallet, an old quarter from 1947, with George VI on it. It was the first time i saw one without the Queen. It will definitely be strange to see new coins with King Charles III on it instead of our late Majesty.
what about option 4 were the queen is the first person to live to 160
It's clear to see that this is the most likely option...
I still think the queen will most likely live till at least 100.
@@forza223bowe5 no the Queen is clearly going to live to 193

Rest in peace, Lizzy, our beloved monarch
I used to work in Radio for the BBC... they have a procedure all set and ready to go for when this event happens, or when any significant Royal dies... the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, William and Harry. Everything from the script to the music played on the station has already been chosen as well as written obituaries. They have been ready for some time.
The Armed Forces too have plans too for the death of a significant Royal. The Royals have been asked for their input etc. An example was when Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother died and we played all music chosen by her. The Pipe bands played a significant rôle as they were her favourite. Operation London Bridge is the name of one of the plans.
This is called professional journalism. They are well prepared for any likely eventuality.
@@szabados1980 I know,like I said... I worked for the BBC for 15 years
@wendy kelly These things are considered personal affairs. So The Royals actually have a big influence on what is in the plans. They hand pick the music and what officials to invite or not to invite. When Princess Diana died, the Queen Mother's funeral arrangements were dusted and updated. Everybody's knees where shaking what the late Queen was going to say when she sees her own plans altered and when she realised that she had to come up with a new plan.
It’s the same in the royal households in Scandinavia. Everything is prepared going years back.
For every Corgi died during her reign, they each add 12 years to her age.
Didn't I hear she's just got another one.

My daughter watches your channel and loves it. I was just having a convo with her about how the money will need to be changed. To my surprise, you have a video on it. I can't wait to show her.
Rip queen Elizabeth II. Guess all these changes will take place now!
Charles has been Prince for so long for me Prince feels like its part of Charles name.
When he gets crowned it’ll be King Prince Charles lol
He may not even choose "Charles" as his reigning name! Charles I and II have tainted the name through their conflicts with Parliament. It's not uncommon for monarchs to choose a different name from their "main" one to be known as when crowned. For instance, king Edward VIII was called David in private.
Prince Charles' full name is Charles Philip Arthur George, so he has a few options to choose from! He might opt to become George VII instead of Charles III.
@TheRenaissanceman65 I believe Edward VIII ought to count, as David was his "usual" name. That is the name his friends and relatives called him.
This means that four out of the last seven British monarchs have been crowned under a name other than their usual one. It may not have been as common in the past, but it seems to have become rather normal in the past 200 years!
I guess we'll only know Charles' decision in a few decades, when the Queen prematurely dies in a tragic accident at age 129.
@@princevesperal "King Charles" is a bad luck name in Britain. If he goes with Charles iii abolition might rise.😢

I started coin collecting a while ago, currently have a William III Third coin as my oldest one, and I only now noticed that they face different ways.
I'm not really a collector but I do have an old 1807 coin with George III on it. When I got to that part of the video I had to get up and find it on my shelf to look at it, run through the list of monarchs in my head, and make sure he's facing right.
I guess Edward VIII, ever stubborn against tradition, chose to face left in what few coins were made with his likeness, just because he preferred that side. When George VI took the throne he then faced left, acting as if the tradition had held and his brother had faced to the right.
The power of "Long Live the Queen", makes her immortal

I recently went to Thailand, and I did actually notice that there were different kings on different banknotes (and had heard of the previous king's recent death). Although sad and a bit morbid to dwell on, it is still kind of interesting in a way to see a country undergoing a transition like this.
I can still remember coins with King Edward VIII on in circulation when I was a kid in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These will have been old Shillings and Florins, repurposed as 5p and 10p coins post decimilisation.
This was recommended at the literal worst time possible
I remember you could spend pre 1920 and pre 1947 silver coins 5p & 10p back in the 70's & 80's.
You used to find in your change the pre 1947 silver shillings 5p & silver florins 10p back in the 70's & 80's, all legal tender back then.
I used to keep them all though.
I got a few victorian shillings & florins in my change too back in the day.

Prince Charles is not a young man himself, it’s not impossible that he’ll predecease his mother.
He's 70 and she's 93. He's no spring chicken but surely he'd still be able to run rings around a nonagenarian.
Honestly, I really don’t want to be insensitive here, but I think that’s what she’s trying to do. Outlive her „scandalous“ son so he doesn’t ascend the throne.

What a great time to be recommended this
Old coins would be around for a long time. Even after decimalisation in the early 70s you could still find coins with King George VI on them as the old one shilling and two shilling coins were used as 5 and 10p coins. While rare they only completely disappeared when the new smaller 5 and 10p coins were introduced in the early 90s.
I was thinking this also, 10 and 5p coins from pre-decimalization stuck around until the early 1990s when they shrank the size of the coins. It was quite common to see George VI coins and very occasionally a George V one, I also have a few Victoria ones that my Mum gave me.
Certainly wont be digging them up in a few hundred years though. The ones I find are barely a year old and completley corroded haha
A husband of a work colleague got a 1942 farthing in change (instead of 1 p) several years ago. They are still among us!
There are still some coins around that bear the image of HRH George VI *and* are still legal tender! 💷
The Crown (5s pre-decimal and 25p post, for crowns minted prior to the 2000s) is still legal, not demonetised, and can be used for the settlement of court-recognised debts. 👩🏾⚖️
Just don’t be disappointed if they refuse to accept them in your local supermarket! 😆
(As „Legal Tender” *≠* „ *Must* be accepted in payment” 📜)
In Canada once in a blue moon you'll get an old coin still in circulation. Used to be King George coins in the 1990s. Now its more like Queen Elizabeth coins but from not long after she became the queen. Pennies aren't used anymore but I got an old QEII nickel from the early 1950s a while back.

hmm i live in canada and don't know anybody that cares lol
I agree with this comment. Living in Canada I've very rarely come across anyone who doesn't have at least a positive view on the monarchy. Plenty seem to actively like it. Even if they take the monarchy off the 20 I would assume it would only be moved to a different bill instead of completely removed.
Last time around even the Australian republicans were so sure the monarchy would be ditched at a referendum that they went ahead with it. In the end it turned out that the people were very happy with the system. The democratic way of government it keeps a lid on, and the economic prosperity that most people can enjoy under it... So they bothered to show up and cast their votes to support the continuation of the monarchy.
Being Japan same within Australia
Pre-decimal shilling coins were in circulation up until 1990 when the size of the 5p coin was changed. George VI coins were common; even Queen Victoria coins would pop up occasionally. I remember once finding a William IV coin, issued more than 150 years before, which would still have been legal tender until 1990.

Just to be pedantic, the British Monarch has never appeared on Canadian banknotes and coins. It is the Canadian monarch who appears. Just happens to be the same person.
And I very seriously doubt that the Monarch will be removed from the $20 bill. There are still enough monarchists in this country who will throw enough of a fit to make it a politically bad idea.
A year later and 63 upvotes and nobody pointed out your comment made no sense.
It is the British monarch on the Canadian bill as titles are not mutually exclusive. He never said that’s what the Canadians call her.
Being pedantic is fine if it’s necessary but not only was this unnecessary it was wrong. You just sound like a dick moaning for no reason.

@@Bergamot88 God Don't Save Charles, though!
Well technically it is the British Monarch as her Title is Queen of Great Britiain and N.Ireland and the commonwealth which includes Canada but doesnt mention it so she is the British Queen but also the Queen of Canada but its not in her title so i guess its preference
@@extint3407 You are incorrect. "Queen of the United Kingdom" is one of numerous titles that she holds. Queen of Canada, Queen of Australia, Queen of New Zealand, Queen of Jamaica etc. are all completely separate titles. There is no such title as "Queen of the Commonwealth", but rather her title is "Head of the Commonwealth" since the majority of Commonwealth nations are republics.
“If” her reign ends
They say that the person who will live to be 200 years old has already been born. I guess the crown will go directly to Prince George, at 36 years.
Is there a comprehensive book available that might have all the information as to the individual countries , what currencies they use, and what those currencies look like.

RE: Australia/Canada, Canadians and Aussies (and kiwis) I know quite like the queen on thier money, it's the politicians who feel the need for change not the population.
As an Australian, I am not happy with the Queen being on our money, but live with it. However, I would not be happy at all with Prince Charles being on our money.
I'm Australian and I totally agree with that. It's all just the politicians.
I'll give you 3 shillings to forget that part -jack sparrow
We flipping love the Queen on our currency over here in the UK. She is so pretty and regal. I think lots of people want to change it due to their uneducated look about royalty and about the Queen. In England we like programmes about history and we have lots of costume dramas that show the life of the Queen. I suggest that you find BBC or ITV costume dramas about the Queen because they can be very accurate and it can show you an insight into her life.

There's a mistake at 1:52 - the half-penny shown is a decimal one. The pre-decimal ones are much larger. The half-penny was kept in the decimal system to allow more accurate conversions from pre-decimal coinage, but were quickly phased out.
I think this was to ensure forward-compatibility for the half crown, which (Converting to decimal) was worth 12,5p.
As it would’ve been wholly impractical to demonetise/withdraw the half crown on D-Day (And result in a lot of peed-off shoppers!) providing a way it could continue to be used and then taking them out of circulation at banks and post offices was a much more sensible way to go about it. 👍🏽
The 0,5p coin was eventually withdrawn in 1982, but the Royal Mint coin set for 1983 (Designed before the coin was withdrawn) still had a 0,5p coin in it. 🙂
Lol does anyone really care abt this? Only nerds do (no offense, sry if offense is taken, this is a joke.)
It was a fairly slow phase out really. The old half-penny was frustratingly just a fraction smaller than the new 2p. I tried to trick one of those tuppenny falls machines with old ha'penny's but it was having none of it.

One shilling & Two shilling George VI coins dating from 1947-1951 were still in circulation when I was a child in the 1970s because one shilling was 5p & 2 shillings were 10p. They were withdrawn from circulation circa 1990-92 when the 5p & 10p coins were replaced with smaller versions to make coinage in our pockets lighter.
You didn't search for it 😅 it just randomly pop-up on yr after har death
Coins with George VI actually were in circulation until the early 1990s. These were the old shilling (5p) and the florin (10p)
And 1p and 2p coins from the 1970s could potentially still be in circulation, although I expect they’ve mostly been removed due to wear.
In Belgium in 2013, when king Albert II abdicated, euro coins where produced portraiting king Filip (his son and heir).
King Albert II was facing to the left and King Filip now faces to the right.
Well that "thing" with Prince Charles aged not quietly like fine wine.
anyone watching in october?
It is interesting you say that about Australian coins, as we are currently updating the effigy of the Queen on our coins
Nobody:
Canada: Let's make a new banknote.... but vertically

@@llVIU Don't give Justin ideas.
When I was a child in the 60's, we still had coin, and notes with her fathers head on them, even though Elizabeth had been queen for decades.
