- Manufacturing has begun of the first coin to enter general circulation in the UK carrying the image of King Charles.
The 50p coin has started to be struck at The Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Wales, and will enter tills, wallets and purses in December.
Sculptor Martin Jennings, who created the portrait of the King, said that witnessing the coin being produced was a "quite remarkable experience".

Good to see they've accurately represented his ears.

Charles has been dreaming of this day for probably 50yrs
It doesn't mean anything
What a stupid nation spends people's wealth on the royal family and people work like donkeys
@@diyarqandil3069 Shut up, lazybutt
Yeah one for the wank bank 😜
Dreaming for his mother to die??
It is so sad to see Elizabeth’s image to be replaced by that of Charles
She tried to live forever,sorry!
It's sad, but it's also traditional, the coins carry the image of the monarch and that is King Charles.
Elizabeth's coins will continue to circulate for decades though, as long as they're still in good condition they're still usable, unless they decide to make any drastic design changes like they did with the £1 coin but I doubt they'll do anything to the lower denomination coins apart from consider getting rid of 1p and 2p coins altogether.
@@williamkinkade2538 she was immortal, she can choose when to die seeing the state of the world she was living she decided to dip
@@godofdestruction69 I like to think that she couldn’t be bothered to reign while liz truss was PM
It's sad that she's gone and couldn't live forever, but he did everything right and the UK is still a liberal democracy. He's entitled to inherit the throne.
Lol, he said "ears"
Without a crown 👑 he just looks like your typical English grandpa on a coin.
Imagine making the decision on how low His Majesty's jowls would hang. Serious business indeed.
Haha 😂 It’s true
*and?*
Finally! South Wales are on telly 🏴
South Wales (the city of Newport, actually) is where I lived some years ago. Wonderful, warm, and friendly people there.
And it isn't for alcoholism 👍🤣🙏

@@JillWhitcomb1966 when you know everyone yeh.
I've used very little cash in the last few years, so I do wonder how likely it is I will ever see one.
Well invest in a few 50 pees before the EMP wipes your digital wealth.
Ew digital wealth.
Congrats, the banks, government, and corporations have you right where they want you.
@@jakefarronmerlin7963 paranoid much ?
@@censorbleep3018 and you think that you are so far away from them 🤣🤣🤣
I’m not from the UK, so forgive me if I’m wrong, but had this been done before? I thought they typically waited until the next full year to start minting coins of the new Monarch on them out of respect for the previous Monarch and to give some time for the mint to prepare the production of the new design, hence why there weren’t any coins featuring Edward VIII. I’m not upset or anything, just curious.
From what I understand is that these coins wont be released until next year, they are just striking them ready for release because there are a few sets of 50p coins that are still waiting to be released into circulation that still have Queen Elizabeth II on them like the Harry Potter and BBC centenary 50p coins.
yeah they're making this as a special commemorative, but the definitive designs wont start circulating until next year

Thanks for the answers, guys, I appreciate it. I’m not a “foreigner interfering in other people’s business” lol, I’m just a coin collector and had a question was all.
🇬🇧 God save the King 🇬🇧
The Christian God that Jesus Christ is the incarnation of? I don't think Kings were his priority, from what I know of his teachings and example ...
Bible: "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, even with the wife of his neighbour, both the adulterer and adulteress must be put to death."
Charles slept with another man's wife, his mistress was another man's wife while he slept with her for over 15 years.
Thank you BBC for sharing this news.

The first ever coin that you can toss and get ears
LMFAOOOOO
Does anyone know when the notes will be replaced?
2024
It’s more funny as we are mostly using contactless now lol
Good thing they don't include the ears. Otherwise they would be the first and only coins which feature a handle.
We need to keep using cash or we will fall prey to being tracked in every activity we do
Can't wait.
For wahts its worth 50p
What a stupid nation spends people's wealth on the royal family and people work like donkeys
Amazing that the Royal Mint was making coins way back for Alfred the great but I wonder if they'll be making them for King William as Britain might be entirely cashless by the time King Charles dies ?
Bullion coins will still be made though.
If their still is a monarchy .
@@williamkinkade2538 it’s been a good few hundred years so I doubt it’s going to disappear in our lifetime.
Reduction will happen as they all seem to want that, but the estates will still exist..
As long as no one nukes us. …a distinct possibility at the moment.
Who uses cash now a days lol
I do, I’m a scrap metal dealer and I pay thousands of dollars cash to my customers every day 😎
Cant wait to collect them 😊
😂😂😂
Ol security guards guarding inflated nickle n copper junk lol
Should have included crown or something as part of the image, would look better I think
Mickey mouse ears or at least dumbos
I have one found in my change from the shop
I got a coin with KC on a good 2 months ago in my change at Asda
The old schools will really missed Queen Elizabeth II coins.
How can there still be monarchies on Earth? This has to be the worst of all possible timelines.
What date does it come legal
I want Liz Truss on the coins
Lol 😂. It would only be good for a week or two
@@Shaolin91z not even a lettuce lasts that long…
… more like Poundland (ex) PM…!
Keep the change xx
Sweet. Good news.
Why is there no date on the coin?
There is it's between the shields
get them while you can, who knows how long he will last, these might become collector's items if he's out like liz "lightning" truss lol
I don’t think he’s going to die that quick… you do know kings/queens serve for life right?
And even when he’s gone these coins will still be legal tender for years or even decades to come.
Have you seen how old his parents lived for? Philip and Elizabeth lived for 99 and 96 years, and Grandma Elizabeth lived for 101.
@@VV_PaVria I think they forgot that monarchs aren’t like politicians
Does this mean we will all be walking around with Charlie in our pockets? 😀
the pervert
Why is this creep on the coins?
It’s going to be strange not seeing the queen
NICE. VERY NICE.
Damn it now I have to move all my Elizabeth coins to the "historic" collection...
Didn't think it be that quick or thought it was real until now
It is sickening that banks have so easily conquered people - only 15% of payments are cash? Disgusting.
Nobody wants to carry around a sack of metal everywhere they go.
@@juice6521 But plastic, toxic chemicals, metal, and glass all screwed together in a sweat shop and costing you a fortune, oh and is addictive, oh and is harmful to society by biased algorithms (phones), that's fine?
It's forced. I went to register my mother's death on Thursday. I was told that from 1st November, no cash payments are being taken. So it isn't by choice, it is forced upon us.
@@Cosford869 Refuse the restriction. Say you only have cash. See what will happen. If there's no resistance, there's no force.
@@censorbleep3018 That's what happened actually mate. I only had £33 in cash and my access to my bank account was restricted so if they had not accepted cash then I would have been fucked. She made it clear that no cash will be accepted after 1st November. She also made clear without putting it into words that she didn't agree with forcing card only payments. We are being screwed up the backside by government.
Please make a piece about the bloody friday in Iran
How come it’s still Elizabethan coins Charles coins ain’t released to the public
Brilliant!!! That was the most urgent thing. I’m glad you did it successfully. Congratulations 👏
Erm… excuse us for having traditions going back centuries.

All 50p with different stuff on it. As I have over £400 worth of different coins. Bet they’ll be worth double soon.
why are there "7" sides to the coin ? Does this hold any meaning ??
and why 29 dots around the head ??
Because it aids identification - especially if you are blind or have low vision.
@@jharekcarnelian Then why not 5 sides since it's a 50P ?
@@LUKIN8OR en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_pence_(British_coin) - read the bits near the beginning tell you how the coin was machined and also bear in mind (as the article notes) that when it was first introduced the 50p coin was far more valuable than now.
Now my Canadian Dollar has some value!
I'd prefer to have the euro now thanks.
Love that his cross sits so well on the back it’s all pissed up lol who set it does not have ocd
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
looks nice ,
Coins just won't be the same.
Looks like an Eisenhower dime
I was given one of these last week in my change. How?
What about Canada?
Nice to see a new monarch on a new 10 shilling piece
I wanted to buy 4 scones from a shop in Whitby. They said they were CASH FREE. I showed them a 10-pound note! Sorry, can't serve you!
if there's one thing that screams "modern britain" it's a king's face on a shiny piece of metal that's hardly worth anything and isn't used in 99.9% of transactions
Lol do you want us to stop using 50 cent coins or smthn?
Why are you so bitter about it then?
Also.. do you realise how many world currencies hold images of the British monarchy?
Modernity and history are not mutually exclusive..
@@ascgazz Is that because they asked for the British Crown to come remove their wealth and resources, decimate their culture/language, violently oppress their will and colonize them? ...
Be careful not to damage the brand new coins at the mint 😒, brand new coins smashed up at the mint thru rough handling before we even get them 🥲.
Damn I didn't know I was so popular in the UK.
Icon my friend your very very important
we be all going digital soon i wouldn't bother
Quite possible, but I hope not. All digital virtual currency will allow the banks and the nation-state to hold considerably more power over an individual and their finances.
Not unless there's a nuclear war and digital transaction systems get shut down.
this was released today (i think?) i just got one in my change
I wonder how long until Canada receives word of the queen’s passing. She has transcended into a symbolic secular deity rather then the monarch
Explains why the pound is falling.
The patriotic town of CHILLINGBOURNE would not want to use that coin.
Ebay auction starting now
The ear 👂 is almost as big as the whole face
Thank god they are not getting rid of The Queen coins. This all happening very fast. That would have been a bit of a shock all the note abd coins just gone
Nah coins featuring previous deceased Monarchs have always remained in circulation for many decades afterwards. The only reason coins featuring Monarchs prior to the Queen are no longer around is because the country changed from imperial currency to decimal currency in 1971. So sadly all the old imperial coins featuring numerous past monarchs had to be withdrawn from circulation. Shame that, there were still a small number of coins featuring Queen Victoria still circulation in 1971, 70 years after she died.
They would have a bit of a task replacing 27 billion coins that has taken 51 years to mint that amount if they were to replace the Queen's head on coinage. And why would that be required anyway? The USA and other countries doesn't remove old style coins in circulation.
the shields and flowers are in the wrong place, if the thistle and clover switched places the thistle can be on the right of the shield of scotland and the clover can be on the right of the shield of northern ireland, got one today getting jelly beans dont know why that fits 😂
that's quick
A coin with Mr. Bean on the back.
The queens face definitely looked better.
❤️
Obviously it’s still the same Elizabethan coin why aren’t there are no Charles coins
Still can’t buy a freddo
Republic Now !!!
Waiting for these definitions
Alright!! CHARLES !!!
The mint just wasted a bunch of coins on a false king
Awesome!!
AMAZING. 👑
This Evil Family needs disbanding.
I am surprised that he is not wearing the crown.
I think it’s tradition or somthing for a king, I got lots of coins from other kings British Indian coins as well 1908-1907 no crown
My dog stepped on a bee. Went to the vet.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a 50p coin.
This is about honoring George Michael! While I too liked the Queen, however, George was & still is a very special man. He has changed many people's lives through his music & his voice but, more than that his heart. George had integrity, a charitable heart, and was always honest, humble & kind. How could anyone forget George when he gave so much! 🕯😇🎶🎶🎶💖
Oh wow so the queens head (CBBC show Queens Nose) is still going to be here interesting I thought they would cancel it and replace it with King Charles III I guess the coins will be together
How much is it
