The Bank of England and Royal Mint have confirmed that coins and bank notes featuring the late Queen Elizabeth will co-circulate with new coins and notes featuring the King.
New notes featuring King Charles III will be unveiled later this year, and will replace currency featuring the Queen over time as coins and notes become damaged or worn. The Royal Mint said that new coins will enter circulation in line with demand from banks and post offices, and will circulate alongside coins featuring the Queen “for many years to come”.
New banknotes featuring Charles are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024 and his portrait will appear on existing designs of all four denominations of banknote (£5, £10, £20 and £50). This will be a continuation of the current polymer series and no additional changes to the banknote designs will be made, the Bank of England said.

In line with guidance from the Royal Household to minimise the environmental and financial impact of the change of monarch, existing stocks of notes featuring the Queen will continue to be issued into circulation, the Bank of England said. New notes will only be printed to replace worn banknotes and to meet any overall increase in demand for banknotes.
Current banknotes featuring the portrait of the Queen will continue to be legal tender and will only be removed from circulation once they become worn or damaged, meaning they will co-circulate with those featuring Charles. The Royal Mint said it will unveil further details about coins featuring the King over the coming weeks.
