UK King Charles banknotes enter circulation

Banknotes bearing a portrait of King Charles entered circulation in Britain on Wednesday, almost two years after he succeeded the late Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.

Charles' image will appear on the new £5, £10, £20 and £50 bills, as existing notes featuring his mother will continue to circulate. Coins with the King's portrait entered circulation in December 2022, a few months after the death of Elizabeth II.
