Apparently so, and the post boxes as they have ER and stamps over time

I saw a documentary about the Christmas broadcasts where the director said he was very nervous, but she offered to do reruns herself if it wasn’t right. She was at pains to help them and to get it right.
She also loved acting and took part in shows as a youngster.

It was obvious watching that clip that she absoletely loved having tea with Paddington.

If they do change coins, that will be the first time. The older NSCers will remember coinage with various different Monarchs on them still being legal tender and common prior to 1970
No rush though, apparently there are still some with King George VI’s GR cypher in use today.

Coins and letter boxes are usually not changed, but notes and stamps are.

i'm not happy about Camilla Queen consort. Prince Philip didn't have the title as King. She should remain duchess and stay in the background
Quite a few with VR on too, a famous one in Birkenhead for example.
They won't change them - they just issue new ones, obviously, but the old ones will remain in use. Pre-decimalisation we had coins with different royal heads on going back to Queen Victoria in circulation - and we've still got post boxes with GR and VR on them.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the head of King Charles III emerges . . . on banknotes and stamps obviously.

The Queen Victoria coins showed her hairstyle as a bun in the nape of her neck, so we tried to collect Bun Pennies. We couldn’t afford to collect coins of a higher value.
I’ve got a farthing from the year of my birth, with the Wren on the front, with George VI on the reverse.
I've got loads of old pennies too, and a few other pre-decimal coins, including a half crown from my year of birth that I carry around with me for good luck (it doesn't work very often!)
Well either The Guardian or the BBC are wrong The BBC said all notes will stay in circulation until the end of their useful life - exactly as it has been for years. I'm going with the BBC on this one as The Guardian doesn't even seem to know the correct words to the Scouting promise so it makes doubt other so called facts in the article.
