Isn't the precedent for notes and coins to leave the old ones in circulation and replace them as and when needed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) It is all going to be scaled back. Don't want to sound too morbid but when Charles goes I would suspect it would be a toned down affair. Probably due to his own wishes and the fact that this is the big one, given the length of time from the last state funeral (Churchill in 1965). And I have no idea what the monarchy will be like under William, the whole thing could just fade away. I get the feeling that if it was decided that the monarchy was to be abolished Wills would be secretly quite relieved. 1952 is so long ago,, it was a much more traditional god fearing type society.

All the cost and inconvenience of replacing the Queen will likely be needed again in a relatively short period of time. I would assume possible designs for money must have been done a while back. New money is being made all the time, so it would just be a case of printing a new image. I guess we will see Charles on a banknote in the next year or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we really afford such a huge expense twice? yeah that was my first thought when i read the article ... wonder if anyone will put it to Charles ? I'll have to google it , but wondered if it is a legal thing or more of an ego thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Stressful times. I had already booked Monday the 19th September off as annual leave. Going to spend the next few days hovering over the HR portal getting ready to click "cancel". Lord, give me strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Aston Villa coming our way when Wills gets the crown and several big eared cups I would hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading up on it , it seems the Queen was the first Royal to be on the banknotes , guess they aren't obligated to put Charles on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, I followed it closely yesterday, but now she's gone, bit bored of it, will be doing my best to ignore it until the funeral Good luck on that, I turned on Talk Sport hoping to listen to Trevor Sinclair being kicked to the curb but all I have got is that posh fella who is one of us and that mucky female jockey who did a video of her fiddling with herself (worth a look by the way) and that weazel Carson talking about bloody horse racing and the Queens involvement etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Shillings were legal tender for years after decimalisation for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
