The previous model, which features a photo of Queen Elizabeth II, will continue to be in circulation. According to the Bank of England, new banknotes are being printed “only to replace those that are worn out and to respond to any overall increase in demand for banknotes”.

“Our approach is aligned with the Royal Household guidelines [casa da moeda do Reino Unido], to minimize the environmental and financial impact of this change. This means that the public will begin to see King Charles III’s new notes very gradually.”, explained the institution.

The population will be able to exchange a limited amount of old banknotes for new ones. To do this, you must go to a Bank of England branch from June 5th.
