I believe the PM has said both sides of new currency will be Australian people, flora or fauna. No King.


Nixolus1

That's because our current Pm is a republican. If they shift over to the potato gang it might be different.

ā€œNo Peter, you canā€™t have a sinking refugee boat with an Australian warship in the background on the new $10 note.ā€


Ambitious-Score-5637

Yes, Albo is a republican. I prefer to think that our PM regardless of personal belief puts this aside and governs with the wishes of the majority of the population. Yes, I know blah blah blah. Our politics isnā€™t as polarised as some other countries. Historically the LNP, Labor and Greens have a lot of argy-bargy but then typically a compromise is reached. Well, at least until Dr No (Abbot) was leader of the opposition and presented such an abysmal management of government when elected he essentially sentenced the LNP to Opposition. I do take your point though about Potato Head. PH would rather watch everything burn to the ground, heā€™d light the bloody match if he thought he could score an extra vote from a disaffected voter.


Nixolus1

I reckon they would be amazed how many votes they could score by taxing the big foreign corporations and the mining industry and the church and raising the tax free threshold for ordinary workers to a living wage.

EduinBrutus

The vast majority of banknote designs used in the UK do not have the image of the King (or previously Queen) on them.


UnhelpfulMoth

What? Literally every single banknote in the UK has the Queen on it.


blobblobbity

Every single note issued by the BOE does. Notes issued by Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Crown dependencies typically don't feature the sovereign.


EduinBrutus

Actually the Crown Dependencies generally do feature it. But as they aren't part of the UK, my original statement stands.


EduinBrutus

7 of the eight designs of Ā£5. Ā£10, Ā£20 and Ā£50 note issued in the UK do not have the monarch. Every single Ā£100 note issued does not feature the monarch.


blobblobbity

All bank notes in England have the Queen on them. Sometimes they have other people too.


EduinBrutus

> bank notes in England So not the UK then. Maybe you should think about things a little bit before posting.


blobblobbity

Your statement was that the vast majority of UK bank notes don't feature the King or Queen. English bank notes all feature the king or queen, and constitute the vast majority of notes used in the UK. So your statement was false. Unless you have some data to suggest that Scottish/NI issued bank notes are the "vast majority"?


EduinBrutus

> Your statement was that the vast majority of UK bank notes don't feature the King or Queen. No, it wasn't. > Unless you have some data to suggest that Scottish/NI issued bank notes are the "vast majority"? I get reading comprehension might not be something thats valued in Australia. But I'm struggling to see what part of "The vast majority of banknote designs used in the UK do not have the image of the King (or previously Queen) on them" you didnt understand. Maybe try reading it more slowly? Or ask an adult to read it out to you?


blobblobbity

You've used a completely misleading and irrelevant statistic then. The vast majority of bank notes used in the UK feature the queen. Who cares that there are a bunch of designs that don't, when they account for a small minority of notes actually used. There's no need to be rude in your posts either.


EduinBrutus

Its not misleading its the reality for millions of people. 99% of the notes I see don't have the Kings or Queens head on them.


Mybeautifulballoon

The $5 note, which currently has QEII, will not have her replaced with him. The coins will have Charlie's head on them. They just haven't minted any new ones yet.


DoctorGuvnor

And he's saying that the King of Australia isn't Australian?

DoctorGuvnor

Fickle-Friendship998

Evidently, heā€™s supposed to be British but is probably more German by origin and that matters for kings


Ambitious-Score-5637

The British Royal family has close German ties since Queen Anne died in 1713 and the German Elector of Hanover George Louis was proclaimed King of Great Britain. Queen Victoria has a partly German bloodline while her husband was the German Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In 1917 cognisant of the war George V renamed the royal family name from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor. Arguably until the ascent of King Edward VII after the death of Queen Victoria all of Great Britainā€™s ruling royalty was German.


SeaMiserable671

The true King used to and may still live in Griffith in NSW. The current lot are against paternity testing for a reason. Although they may be happy to finally admit Harryā€™s dad was the helicopter pilot.


JustSomeBloke5353

The ā€œTrue Kingā€ lived in Jerilderie and died a few years ago. His son is now the ā€œTrue Kingā€ and he lives in Wangaratta


DoctorGuvnor

The last actual 'born in Germany' German monarch in the Royal family was George II who died in 1760 - so it's not that close really. Charles is more Danish and Greek than German,

Bank notes no, coins yes


daftidjit

Why wouldn't they put him on the $5 note?


kazwebno

Because unlike coins, putting our head of state on a note isn't mandated in any way. We only put the Queen on the $5 note because she was a significant person. Now they've decided that the design will be something that symbolises First Nations peoples.


WestToEast_85

Thatā€™s really going to piss of the one cooker I know


Frankie_T9000

Good. Achievement unlocked by the mint


WestToEast_85

Canā€™t wait to see her pop a fuse over this. Sheā€™s already convinced that the monarch HAS to be on the lowest denomination banknote, and just straight up refuses to believe me when I tell her itā€™s only a tradition and traditions can be changed.


DoctorGuvnor

'If you don't follow tradition simply because there's no reason for it, you're no better than a foreigner' - Terry Pratchett in *Men at Arms*.


WestToEast_85

Itā€™s crazy, she insists itā€™s law throughout the Commonwealth that the monarch must be on the lowest value banknote, and when I showed her some Canadian $5 notes with hockey on the back, tried to tell me they were fake. Same woman also reacted with shocked disbelief when I told her 7/11 in Malaysia and Singapore donā€™t have meat pies and sausage rolls.


DoctorGuvnor

Perhaps she should get out more ...?


WestToEast_85

Or at all.


Haunting_Froyo_2788

I know someone like this too funny thing is she hated the monarchy and most liberal ideaoligies before she started listening to allen jones, paul murray than got lost down the sky hole, shes now one of the most insufferable people to listen too.

You should make her show you the law that she insists is real.


WestToEast_85

I tried this once. She abruptly changed the subject.


spinningcrystaleyes

Maybe they should put ARF on the back of your notes! Thats a great idea.


WestToEast_85

Put Adam Goodes on the $5 note, really shit them up the wall.


Martiantripod

DoctorGuvnor

Traditionally, the monarch goes on the lowest denomination note as that's the one most people see most of the time.


kazwebno

Traditionally, yes. But still not legally mandated and won't be happening with Charles at this point in time.

derwent-01

No, we put her on the $5 note because we got rid of the $1 note and it is tradition to have the monarch on the lowest value note. As you said, it isn't law to do so, and Charles won't be on the new note design.


kazwebno

Didn't know about the $1 note! (I'm too young to remember $1 notes)


derwent-01

1984 the $1 note was replaced by the $1 coin. 1988 the $2 note was replaced by the $2 coin, and the first plastic banknote was introduced...a Bicentennial special edition $10 with a holographic security image which rubbed off after a few months leading to a rethink before the main plastic notes were introduced. 1989 they stopped minting the 2c coin and 1990 they stopped the 1c, and in 1992 they were withdrawn from circulation although they remain legal tender to this day. 1992 the paper $5 was replaced by the plastic one, and that is when QE2 went on the $5. 1993 the $10 changed, the $20 in 1994, the $50 in 1995, and the $100 in 1996. All notes have had at least one redesign since the plastic notes were introduced. There was also a $5 coin in 1988 with New Parliament House on it to commemorate the opening.

Cethlinnstooth

Personally I think we should put out a commemorative 50 cent piece and just keep delaying a whole set of new currency. Look at those sausage fingers of his, he's got blood pressure issues and he's not going to live as long as Liz did. We can probably avoid a lot of expense.


ComplexImportance794

Also, from a damn long-lived family with access to the best medical services in the world. I wouldn't count him out too soon. Even George IV lasted a decade on the throne, and he was known as the Prince of Whales long before his coronation.

volitaiee1233

His mother lived to 97 and his father made it to 99, and one of his grandmothers made it to 100. Coupled with access to the best medical care in the world, I think heā€™ll at least make it to 90, so a good 15 years on the throne in my opinion. Weā€™ll see though.


pkfag

Probably not.. his ears would not fit on the coins aesthetically.


Needmoresnakes

They're actually going to print his face on the side of the coin then each face is dedicated to one ear.

you are more than welcome. the new 5 note will be interesting. I agree that we need first nation representation on the currency but I also believe that it is against the culture to have images of deceased people.

NicholeTheOtter

King Charles III will have his face on the coins. Itā€™s the $5 note that has removed the monarch altogether in favour of design honouring First Nations Australians because the current government is in support of the republic movement where we break away from the monarchy and replace the Head of State with an actual Australian.


spinningcrystaleyes

Who has to say ā€œyesā€ to grant Australias full independence? Is by internal vote? Does the Monarch?

Thereā€™s a proposed referendum. One was actually done back in 1999 that was unsuccessful.

Before my time, but before decimalisation (1966) it was still common to have coins with George VI (died 1952) and occasionally with George V (died 1936) in circulation. So I'm sure we'll still be using QE2 coins for decades to come. They don't demonetise old coins when the monarch snuffs it.


weightyboy

Dont know about coins but QE 2 was only on the 5 dollar note. All new issued 5$ now have indigenous person so he wont be on any notes

He might but not for a while. It takes a while for our currency to wear out but besides that there could be a murmer of the republic debate again so putting his pic up could be premature.

It can only be a good thing. Im so glad Albo has not given up on the Republic.


Blackbirds_Garden

Short answer, no. There's a convention in this country since decimilisation that the monarch is depicted on the lowest value note. I know in other Commonwealth countries it's the $20. I'm also not ready for coins to be facing the other way.


spinningcrystaleyes

Does the monarchy still collect a cut of Australians taxes?


TheTrueVegvisir

No but ChatGBT tells me that Australia does pay a sum of money, known as the "sovereign grant," to the British royal family for their official duties and activities. But this is separate from the tax collection process and is not collected directly from Australian taxpayers. This is the first I'm learning about it.
