During a Tuesday event at Buckingham Palace, the monarch was presented with the first printed bills reflecting his reign.
According to the BBC, the king said the new notes were “very elegant.” Charles also learned that this was the first time the Bank of England has ever had to put a new monarch on the banknotes, because the UK only introduced the queen’s image on paper money in 1960. “This is what is so surprising,” the king said, per the broadcaster. “You would think that it goes back.
“The new banknotes will only be printed to replace those that are worn, and to meet any overall increase in demand for banknotes,” their statement read. “Our approach is in line with guidance from the Royal Household, to minimize the environmental and financial impact of this change. This means the public will begin to see the new King Charles III notes very gradually.
