Speaking as a Brit by birth, I can get behind this proposal. As it has already been noted, King Chuckie ain't too popular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophomore Jinx Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) *apologies to Jaimito, didn't see your post above* There are going to be a whole lot of currencies (and passports, etc.) that will be updated, Canada plus 32 other countries. Charles on our coins and $20 bills. Only ever knew the Queen's likeness, could be weird, we shall see.

No need to take her off our currency either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with the polymer bills, the changes will now be in the range of coinage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with keeping QE2 on the coin or maybe even transfer to Chuckie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two of them did what is now the Labour Day Classic here in PG prior to going off and doing their things. So it isn't a stretch to have them both on there.

AFAIK, Laurier, King and Borden are all long dead, but still on the currency....we should try and run out the clock on Chaz and maybe look at a do over when Wills becomes King.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for William if we’re gonna put another monarch on. Charles may only be king for less than 10 years depending on his health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick to tradition and mint and print new coinage and bills with Charles as needed. Probably not gonna have many of these anyways given our polymer bills.

I'm not a huge fan but he did put his time in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we even need to put Charles or William anywhere in our tradition or symbols. The Queen was actually an integral piece of our history and growth as a Country, Charles and even less William, havent done anything for us really, except being the heir to QE2. I think we can have the whole monarchy in Canada discussion another day, but I think there are other deserving "home grown" heroes that could get such an honor before Charles and William.

Going to be something special to witness. Particularly the coronation. I'm wondering about the train.
