One thing you overlooked here - each successive monarch faces the opposite way to their predecessor on money and stamps. There has only ever been one exception.
WOW is that true??? Amazing
What was the exception?
But why?
@@veryblocky George VI who faced the same way as his father George V.
@@t.wcharles2171 Edward VIII was King between George V and George VI before abdicating.
It must seem odd to sing your national anthem for 70 years and then suddenly, a subtle change in lyrics. I feel like I would be stumbling over it for a while after singing it one way for almost 40 years of my life.
Then again, I'm not British, perhaps it's not as odd as I think.
Most British people don't sing it, at least not regularly.
@@seriousmaran9414 I think a lot of people around the world don't sing their anthems that much anymore.
The youth are busy singing twerking songs on TikTok
Not many people sing (or even know) the anthem here. It's only really sung for sporting or royal events.
@@user-op8fg3ny3j
True, but that's largely the result of a lack of cause to sing them. It's not like people don't want to sing their anthems we just sorta... don't ask it of them... ever. Meanwhile the Yanks bust out the Star Spangled Banner every other day and they seem to like it.
@@user-op8fg3ny3j Oh yeah you're right, before TikTok everyone would stand on their doorstep 7pm and sing God Save the Queen. It would be quite moving.
The monarch on Bank of England notes has never changed before.
The Bank of England only started putting the picture of the monarch on the notes in 1960.
(Royal Bank of Scotland notes did have the picture of previous monarchs on them).
Was just scrolling through to see if anyone else had already picked up on this.
So your telling me, this is the first time they will ever do this?
@@angelgsant9671 Yep. Queen Elizabeth II is the first monarch to ever have her image on a Bank of England note.
@@angelgsant9671 On Bank of England banknotes - yes.
That's weird. Because I have old Canadian notes and they definitely have George VI on them. Why would Canada have the monarch on our notes, and not the UK?
To think that my children in the future will be studying about the queen as the longest reigning monarch and i get to say, "yep i was alive during her reign"
There’s people who were born after her, and yet died (of natural causes) before she passed…
Longest reigning *British monarch. Sobhuza II of Swaziland (now Eswatini) reigned for over 12 years longer as the longest verified reigning monarch.
@@TeamDreamhunter that French guy was longer too but he started as a teenager
@@tiredturtle3538 “That French guy” was Louis XIV
@@Bob-from-Animal-Crossing still just some French guy.
I'm Canadian and, according to Canadian media, the Queen's long-standing appearance on our $20 banknote will NOT necessarily be replaced by a picture of King Charles III any time soon - or indeed EVER. There is apparently some inclination to replace her picture with some other unspecified image of a person, place or thing that somehow epitomizes our country. No decision has yet been rendered on this matter so it may take several months before we get any idea what the new image on the $20 bill will be. Apparently, coins are in the same position: Charles III may NOT replace his mother on our coins.
Same here in Australia. We may or may not have Charles III on our money, but we may also leave to commonwealth and become a republic. I personally want Steve Irwin on our $5 note which would be pretty awesome
@@nightly765 well that's not happening cos republicans are the minority by a long shot
@@nightly765 sorry he's not suited
I can buy that Liz becomes someone actually Canadian on the $20 but it would be, to my knowledge, unprecedented for the reigning monarch to not be on the next year's coinage (perhaps barring a short reign like that in 1936)
Yeah Canada is going through Truth and Reconciliation so I really doubt the government would put some old white man from Britain on our bills when they could put literally anybody else there.
They could put Thommy Douglas and really rub our healthcare in America's face, they could put our Governor General there, they could put a notable figure from Indigenous History on the bill.
There are so many better options than whatever that Charles fella is
I'm pretty sure - at least with the coins - that you should flip the image of King Charles. I am pretty sure the direction they are looking changes with a new monarch.
Yes, the head of the coin will flip position. The notes will be rolled out pretty quick, I think.
The stamps too.
Same with medals, they'll flip also
There is one exception to this rule. Because Edward VIII preferred his portrait to the left, but there aren’t many of those around since his reign was less than a year!
That would be correct, for every change in the monarch, the direction in which they face will alternate, as set by King Charles II back in the 1600's. This will mean, the next monarch (Prince William most likely) sit on the throne, they will be facing the same direction as Queen Elizabeth II on issued physical tender
As someone who isn't an Islander and doesn't know your anthem, it would have been really nice if you had added synchronized subtitles for the singing since the singing... well, it is enough of a mess to where I cannot make out a single word. (As to be expected with a thousand or so non-professionals singing in an echoey location.) All I can make out is the melody, and that is the part that does NOT change.
A lot of the people singing probably also didn't know the lyrics, most people only know the first verse (I barely know that).
Basically we'll have to swap things like Queen, her, etc with king, his, etc.
I'm British and I couldn't hear what they were singing, LOL (I also don't know the words to my own anthem)
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King
The tune is a bit of a dirge. Other national anthems are more stirring such as the American and French, So are the unofficial Scottish and Welsh ones, "Scotland the Brave" and "Men of Harlech"
@@stanleyt.7930 The US national anthem is stirring? It is a British drinking song sung like a funeral dirge! With a line in that 99.9999% of the people can't sing without pausing for a breath.
Worth mentioning the change from a Queen's Crown to a Kings Crown on things like Heraldic Arms (see passport covers), police and armed forces uniforms etc.
There will be no change of crown unless Charles commands it. The current crown is not a “queen’s crown”, it is the crown of st. Edward, the coronation crown. The same crown Charles will be crowned with. Charles could however decide to replace the st. Edward’s crown with the Tudor crown, which was used on coats of arms by Queen Victoria and until queen Elizabeth came to the throne, when she restored the use of st Edward’s crown. St. Edward’s crown was used on coats of arms before Queen Victoria
Quick note on the Royal Warrant - there's a "re-certification" process within ~5 years anyway, so it merely advances the process by (on average) 1-3 years.
does it cost money to the company to get the Royal Warrants. and how many companies are there that have them
is this a slight thing or a massive undertaken I just wonder
@@davidsworld5837 Not really, tiny amounts of administration. I believe the Royal Warrant Holder's Association publishes the rules, but in reality the costs are related to providing continual, consistent and excellent service and products - which can be a huge undertaking, depending on what the business is.
There are one-man-band/sole traders with the royal warrant, as well as huge multinational companies too.
@@tyranneous thanks until now like most people we do not always take into account things that are happening or think about what if. we all must have thought the Queen would live till she was the age of the Queen mother.
@@davidsworld5837 i always thought she'd live to over 100, but given her deep love for her husband I always knew she wouldn't last long without him. So I've been half expecting her to slip away ever since he died. I even wondered if she would make it to her platinum jubilee, given how frail she had become.
One thing you missed that will change quite rapidly; the police swear allegiance to the ruling monarch and the badge on their helmets signify this. So all the badges on police uniforms will be changing quite soon to reflect their new oath.
Do they need to officially say a new oath or is the old one “updated”?
@@LordDoucheBags All our MP's have had to officially pledge a new oath and I would assume the same will go for the police.
Not necessarily, as not all constabularies have the royal cipher in their logos including PSNI, Police Scotland, Hertfordshire, Kent and Northumbria. Also, officers don't need to re-affirm their oath, as it mentions their successors and they swear to the crown, not the monarch.
@@stephenhodgson3506 Not true, they were invited to, but they don’t have to, at least until there’s a General Election. If they are re-elected they will have to.
The same with the police, HM Forces, etc. It would take forever.
What a waste of money
3:11 This will be interesting. Scotland doesn't have an ERII on her postboxes built 1952-2022 because Elizabeth I wasn't Queen of Scotland, so Elizabeth II was the first, not the second, Scottish Queen. Both the previous Charleses were Kings of Scotland as well as England, Ireland and Wales, so be curious to see if 'CRIII' is also used north of the Border.
Also be interesting to see if we allow him to remain when we obtain independence next October.
Nowadays, any British monarchs will take the highest regnal from either the Scottish or English monarchies. So if we had another King James, he would be King James VII rather than having different regnal numbers in different parts of the UK.
@@hannahk1306 it’d be King James VIII, since we’ve already had a King James II and VII
+ *Ken* _*Charleses_
@@jonnomonodesu assuming you actually vote for it this time, your track record isn't great lol
Before decimalisation (1971) there were still coins from the reign of Victoria in circulation. I used to collect Victorian pennies - they were worth precisely one penny each.🙃
That feels wild to me since coins from just twenty years ago already look so faded. That there were still 70 year old coins in circulation pre-decimalisation makes me wonder just how bad they looked after all that time.
@@spmiles98 The oldest were worn completely smooth, and they were not so good in slot machines, telephone kiosk coin boxes etc, I remember. Liable to fall straight through. Later ones from the end of Vic's reign were okay - they were only 70 years old by the time they were withdrawn.
@@spmiles98 there's still penny's from 1971 in circulation, when looking at old 1 and 2 pence peices if they say "new pence" instead of a number they are at least 40 years old at this point
I'm American and like to collect "wheat" pennies. It was a design from 1909-1958 that had the same Lincoln face on the front as current but "One Cent United States of America" in large bold lettering with stalks of wheat on either side on the back. Most arent worth more than a penny but I like it. Ones made of steel from ww2 can be worth a lot though based on which mint and condition. I have a few steel but none worth much.
i've found two Victorian pennies at my granny's house, one clear one from 1900, and one smudged beyond recognition
Interested to see the video on the future of the Commonwealth. In Australia much of our love (or at least tolerance) of the monarchy wasn't for the monarchy itself but for Queen Elizabeth II. Republicanism has had a steady rise in Australia and in 1999 monarchy only just won in a referendum 55% to 45%. Our current leading party the Australian Labor Party has had an official republican stance since 1991 and will likely be a policy promise at the next election. They're not rushing to anything which is nice and allowing the world to grieve such a great loss
I read recently that the Queen herself expected Australia to become a republic. Sounds like there was a mutual respect
I think there is nothing wrong with a respectful transition to a Republic
I think many people around the world think this. Even in America and non-commonwealth countries. Nobody loves the crown, they loved the queen
@@yrobtsvt yes apparently she was surprised that the vote didn't go the way of a republic
@@rnanerd6505 but a damn sight cheaper than the alternative. How much does having the English monarch as your head of state cost you annually? And how much would it cost to have a home grown one? I am quite sure the difference will be staggering.
It’s worth noting that some of the last ever stamps with the queens portrait on them are of the Transformers
From Canada, so maybe they'll get to it in the Commonwealth video.
So you will get c3 po boxes?
Very good
*chuckles sensibly*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's surprisingly apt, if you think about it.
This may be the best RUclips comment of the year.
I remember as a child in the 1970s still using coins with the head of George VI ( the late queen's father) who had died twenty years earlier, so I suppose those Elizabethan coins will be around for a while.
The Swedish King Gustaf VI Adolf 1882-1973 (king 1950-1973) was on the 10 krona(Crown) note from 1963- 1990 17 years after his death.
Yeah, the only reason that all coins currently feature Queen Elizabeth II is decimalisation - every single coin denomination has changed during her reign. When she became Queen, the coins were ¼d, ½d, 1d, 3d, 6d, 1s, 2s, 2s/6d. Now it's 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, £2.
Yes, we probably won't live to see them go out of circulation unless the actual coin changes. e.g. I was spending the old heavy 50p from 1969 as late as 1997 when the weight of coin changed. Similarly for 5 and 10p's that changed in 1990. You can still see 1970's pennies occasionally.
@@dcarbs2979 exactly and I doubt replacing pennies would be worth it anytime soon due to their limited use these days
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117 The next change to the penny may well be eliminating them altogether. It already costs more to make them than they are worth.
Out of the many!! Things I will miss about her - the thing I will miss the most will be her voice- a link to war time uk - no one speaks like that anymore
I never thought it should be pronounced Re-jeye-na. Every other country says it similar to the Italian Re-gee-na. After all, it's from Latin.
As a latinist, I jumped when I heard “Regina” pronounced in such a surprising manner. I’ve never heard anyone using anything else than the Latin pronunciation for that word in that context.
@@user-vs6jl9jb4k Yeah, I've only pronounced it that way as a joke, since, it rhymes with the other word, hahaha.
I prefer Classical Latin pronunciation, so it's Regina with a hard G for me.
@@carltomacruz9138 I would be glad if someone proved me the Romans used hard G here. Germanic languages took it over with hard G while Latin languages use soft G. I'm confused but I'd rather believe the true heirs, the Latin ones. Exception is of course the French "Reine" not using a G at all, so it's just as irrelevant as what we Hungarians think (we think it's hard, this is Austrian influence).
@@cow_tools_ As we were thinking whether it's hard or soft, Chain Chompsky says it can get hard when it rhymes.
I heard Re-jeye-na in the name of a Canadian town that locals call that way.
Thank you for making this video it was interesting 👍
Another thing that may have to change is where a badge displays a crown such as police or military cap badges or helmet plates. The current Queen’s crown is raised at the top but the crown of the previous monarch, George VI, was flattened.
I think it was mentioned on the news that police cap badges will change, probably fairly quickly. Same for some military ones too.
"The anthem will change from to "
:D
He's not wrong lol
It was unintelligible to me and it's my anthem! lol
My dad watched Songs of Praise every Sunday my entire time living under his roof, so I'm used to church echo lol.
When I did music at school in New Zealand the music bold were so out of date that they still had “God Save the King”
Well it will eventually be correct so why change it.
So it is true then that you have to turn your watch back 25 years when you land in NZ. lol

@@mikeoxsmal8022 The late 90s 😅
The national anthem changed on the death of the Queen.
Yes, Charles III immediately became King upon the Queen's death.
I think some of the larger bills with the Queen on them might outlive the king, he’s not close to his death bed yet but he is pretty old
Don't let the King hear you say that! 👎😂
If i were a british i would keep her face. She is just a symbol of English Royals and iconic

New update looks sick.
Yes, but when the next Bond film comes out, will it be the first in which James is an agent in *his* majesty’s secret service?…
Polymer banknotes represent almost treble the greenhouse gas emissions than the paper notes they replaced, despite their longer lifespan and the Bank of England’s initial claims.
This extended lifespan was cited as the main reason for the new notes having a lower environmental impact. However, the bank’s data is based on what it calls functional units - the circulation of 1,000 banknotes over 10 years - rather than the number actually used by an individual, their manufacture and the number of exchanges they go through. When it comes to disposal at the end of their lives, paper notes are returned to the Bank of England, where they are granulated and composted in a process similar to that used for food waste. Meanwhile, polymer notes are granulated, melted and mechanically recycled into other objects. The greenhouse gas production of each method for both the paper and plastic £5 notes is essentially the same. The slightly larger and thicker £10 notes, though, mean that the polymer versions create slightly more CO2 in their end-of-life process than their paper counterparts.
You also missed lawyers changing from QCs to KCs and military uniform buttons changing from Queen’s crown to King’s.
Yank here. I just learned that the national anthem is the same music to our song "My Country 'Tis of Thee". It's probably common knowledge for most people. I just find it interesting that we have basically been singing "God Save the Queen" our whole lives. Now I have to learn more history about the song.
"Land of hope and glory" is another. I can't think what you call it.
I knew it sounded way to familiar. I started singing our lyrics in my head as it was difficult to understand the British ones with all the echoing. I thought we came to America to escape the monarchy 😂
Yup. Can't escape the old Empire, ya colony :-)
@@dcarbs2979 Brits stole it as well, from the French. The tune was originally composed for a song for the King of France.
@@Isoldarkman do you know which one?
Its going to be His Majesty for quite a while, Charles III, William V, and George VII.
Only if the Monarchy retains primogeniture-based inheritance. It might be an adaptation in future days that the crown can go to any of the Royals based on what would be best for the nation.
Or maybe he will be the last british monarch, with the monarchy being abolished.
@@Bushflare that's unlikely to happen
@@indiekiddrugpatrol3117
A man can dream.
@@Bushflare Monarchy has always gone down the line of the firstborn child until recently it was sone first but with a change in the law in the mid-2000s currently after George his sister Charlotte is next in line, and it will remain that way for many years yet. The thing with the current system is the line of succession is known and while Princes will be princes as has already been seen when they become King they behave accordingly. Trying to change the unwritten constitution in the UK is just not happening it has evolved over 1000 years and will continue to change slowly as relevant.
There is actually no need to recall any coin or stamp or banknote. Just use them until they 're worn out.
I've seen coins with the face of the grandparent of the current monarch in other European countries.
As for the hymn, her/his king/queen have the same number of syllables. The accompanying music is usually so loud that nobody will hear the difference.
Also senior barristers appointed Queen's Counsels (QCs) will now become King's Counsels (KCs). Two British army regiments will also likely be changing their names: the 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards and the Queen's Royal Hussars.
With post office boxes, they will only replace the post box and put CIIIR on it as required. there are in fact more than 1 VR post boxes throughout the UK from Queen Victoria that have not been replaced due to the Post Box still being in good working order. So it may actually be quite a long time before we see a CIIIR post box unless a new one is installed somewere
I’d love it if we permanently had Elizabeth II on at least one bank note for ever.
I know a guy who lives in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Ah yes, our new national anthem!:
“God save our gracious quee- king… I meant king… Long live our noble que- damnit, king… God save the Queen.. DAMNIT! I mean king!”
"Send he- him, him.. victori- damnit.."
Lmao yep! 👍
The post box by my house still has GR written on it, so they are in no rush to replace them!
Truth is they don't replace them at all. Just add the monarch at the time of installation. The old ones remain in place. We have a number of Victorian and Georgian PO boxes, but I don't think there are any Edwardian ones being one single decade between them. The Georges had 35 years! Even between them, that's half of the Queen!
@@dcarbs2979 The second Georges had 35 years. The first ones had 116 years (1714 -1830).
@@billcipherproductions1789 Yes, but those first Georges pre-date post boxes. The first ones arrived in Victoria's reign (1853) along with stamps in 1840.
@@dcarbs2979 Correct.
Seems like a silly waste of time when you could just put cool birds on stamps, bridges on the bank notes, and make references to humanist virtues instead of the majesty of a quaint monarch.
putting animals in banknotes signals a country without history
Britain likes quaint things.
I had no idea those royal warrants were a thing. It does sound like something that breaks the impartiality the monarch and the state are supposed to have.
True, but the British way of doing things is to only complain if something becomes a problem so breaking the principle of a law doesn’t matter as much as breaking the spirit.
The royal warrant doesn't actually "do" anything though, it's not like the adverts start using the monarchs name in them once they get one, it's mostly just a small logo they get to stick on the bottle etc
lmfao brooo , idk if u are a brit but cmon ...people need to stop saying that about the royalty.
first ,no one is impartial. they hold power, they are drawing a narrative for yhe brits.
second,
they are on the banknote. they own multiple castle, trust found , proprieties,labels etc... all over the world . they are in the top 3 fortunes of england.
for duck sake you can't be impartial and be the "unofficial" leader of 15 countries.

There are still numerous King George VI (1936-1952) post boxes still in operation where I live. And one King Edward VII (1901-1910). All still in use, apparently.
There is also a difference in heraldry between a king’s crown and a queen’s crown.
I would presume the royal coat of arms would also change along with everything else.
I went for a walk yesterday and found several post boxes with “G R” on them.
There are 2 in my town with VR on them!

@@Iron_of_man George VI and Victoria, yeah.

Thank you for showing pronouns in the bible😂 that was absolutely brilliant!

So true! 👍
Back in 1964 I became a Queen's scout. Now there will be King 's scouts. I should not forget the guides.
Funny thing. In Australia currency never gets withdrawn with only 2 coins having their legal status as tender revoked. That means all Australian currency with the queen's face on it will remain legal tender until Australia no longer exists as a country.
But they do remove damaged and worn coins/notes and replace them with new ones (otherwise they would be inflating supply when they issue new currency and therefore inflation), so eventually all the queens notes and coins will be removed
@@chrisoman87 That could also happen if Australia ever becomes a Republic, the Queen was the binding glue that kept Australia not becoming one before, I'm not sure if this King has that same charisma and respect as his mother for us Aussies.
@@chrisoman87 still interesting, that Scotland has no legal tender expect 1 and 2 pound coins (read whats written on bank notes - in scotland, bank notes are bank "I owe you"s), but Australia never having revoked the legal tender status of a bank note.
@@bushranger51 I disagree that she is the glue holding us in. It's a expensive endeavor to become a republic and there's not really any benefit. We are a democracy now, so who cares if the head of state is the King? He doesn't effect what we do anyway.
Charles actually loves Australia btw. He was educated here, in Victoria.
Post boxes don't change. The old ones stay in place with the crest of the monarch at the time of installation. New ones will have CR or CIIIR as we move on.
There are large housing estates being built near me atm and nearing completion. Those will probably get the first CIIR postboxes unless there are a stock of EIIR ones they don't want to waste.

@@flitsertheo I think at the minimum 15 years, maximum 25 years.
Give credit to @lemmino for the queen face morphing thru the ages clip please :)
In Canada there's no legal requirement that the monarch must appear on money. It's just tradition. It's unlikely that the new King will appear on paper money in Canada. But maybe on coins? It's sort of heads or tails right now.
Its a small details but the Crown on anything changes from the Queens Crown to the Kings Crown, When I joined the military there were several old boys who joined up before the old King passed who still kept their cap badges with the old crown as a kind of badge of honour.
Quite correct, I was going to post something similar but as well as all those rank badges, wherever the Queen's crown appears, it will have to change to a King's crown, for example on the passports that were discussed. Interestingly as a child (pre decimal) we still had coins with Queen Victoria on them.
It's kind of amazing how different these "basic" things are in the US. Like stamps, we're not allowed to have a LIVING person on a stamp at all (hence no Donald Trump stamps - there sure would have been lol), and the same things goes for money. Changing the national anthem would literally take an act of congress at this point and would never work. If there was a presidents seal for an item it would be a HUGE loss of sales for that product for that item just because lol.
I wish we could change the anthem lol I feel like “Battle hymn of the Republic” is a much much more fitting song for our nation.
The difference is America’s idolatry is invested in the concept of America, hence the flag and freedom and the American way and all that, so historically the American government tries to avoid creating idols, (even if every now and then they sculpt Abraham Lincoln sitting on a literal throne).
Meanwhile Britain’s idolatry is invested in the history and continuity of Britain, hence we freely make idols of living monarchs because they don’t represent people so much as the era of Britain itself, hence why we have periods known as the Victorian and Elizabethan eras because those queens serve as human milestones.
Both approaches have benefits and flaws, far too many to be exhaustive here, but suffice it to say Britain suffers for lack of a clear concept whilst America suffers for lack of an overarching, defining figurehead, but nobody seems to complain so it’s probably working.
@@Bushflare Oh, it's not that I don't understand the reason why we specifically don't allow living people to be "immortalized" on something. The premise that the president isn't a king is absolutely fundamental to the US. It's all done in that same vane. It's just that I never really thought about how much easier it can make things logistically by choosing to do so lol.
@@JayJay5244 no problem, just get 2/3 of congress to agree with you all at the same time and you'll be well on your way :)
@@TheNuclearGeek Mmh. Not the first Republic to shun kings though. Rome also disliked it’s living idols. The price for a republic is constant vigilance, so it makes sense just how far America goes to try and depower any living demagogues.
Then again, I suppose Rome did the same with the Rubicon and it still didn’t save them in the end… but that’s too dark to consider in a RUclips comment, I suppose. Saving on logistics is a nice boon.
waiting for the commonwealth video. also, can you say, is it related to the commonwealth of cromwell? as a name?
UK: has to change all money with the monarch's face.
EU: laughs in bridges.
The real question is will all these brands start making overtures via Twitter to the septogenarian in a bid to keep/obtain their royal warrants?
My brother joked yesterday about a queue of company representatives offering different foods to Charles.
There's no rush. Indeed some will not be able to change and some won't ask, both because their wares are too gender specific or too personal to the late Queen.
Even then, the holder has a couple of years in which it can carry on with the epithet along the lines of "by appointment to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II" whilst hoping that HMtheK Charles III will be minded to grant it his own seal of approval.
If you go down to the passages off Piccadilly some businesses display similar warrants dating back to pre-war monarchs or even those of the Dutch or Belgian royal families.
As an aside, it was only last year that her mother's famously favourite tipple, Dubonnet, was finally honoured by Queen Elizabeth.
When we were kids in the fifties we had coins in our pockets, usually pennies, dating right back to Queen Victoria. It wasn't at all unusual to come across coins bearing the heads of Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI, and of course the late Queen. We had history in our pockets which gave us a sense of identity and continuity. Decimalisation put a stop to all of that. At one fell swoop it wiped out the 'everyday history' which we carried around with us.
I hadn't ever thought of that, it must be quite a bittersweet thing. Here in Switzerland we've been using decimalised coins for a very long while and they don't carry any heads of state, but they are identical going back decades, which also lends that little "everyday history to it" - I think the oldest coin I ever found in my wallet was about a hundred years old, still merrily going through circulation. Couple of decades in the future, and there's gonna be kids in the UK feeling that same little sense of history too!
That’s how I learnt about previous Kings and Queens and the Royal Family tree.
I had a george 3rd penny & tuppance got them in my change pre decimal
@@miacorliss1151 The thing is, the UK has also changed the size of some of the coins post-decimilisation. The 5p and 10p have shrunk in size. The £1 has changed its composition and appearance because the first design was easily forged and some coins like the 1/2p have disappeared because of inflation. Surely, the same must have happened to Swiss coins as well?
I've replaced more plastic notes than the paper ones because they keep tearing
5 years ago I used to love that there was someone who didn't drag the videos by speaking too slowly, now I have to listen at 1.25 or 1.5x
Wait, coins with the wrong monarch stop being considered legal tender? There’s still plenty with George VI floating about in Canada?
You didn't go through decimalisation in the Queen's reign.
No they won't stop being considered legal tender, there were still queen Victoria pennies in Britain in the 70s but because of decimalisation all our coins are at most 51 years old
It's wonderful that people can think about the cost of all this while they queue for the foodbank.
The video explained that none of this will change any sooner than it would have done anyway.
And whilst they’re standing in the queue at the food bank, they could read up on how the economy works and how we became one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
How is it the queen's fault if some bums are at a food bank?
+ from QCs to King’s Counsels ... that's going take a while to get used to...
That's a hell of a lot of changes from Passports, to currency from coins to notes, Stamps etc.... Then their is all the Royal Warrants on foods and Stuff .....
It's all fairly minor and long term though, notes won't leave circulation for years and passports last up to 10 years, so not like things are going to change quickly
The more I learn about what is meant to change in the coming years, the more I'm in awe at what the Queen left on this world for Decades to come.
People often forget that the BFG has dinner with Queen Elizabeth. It’s remarkably easy to forget just how omnipresent the Queen has been in media, our lives, and our surroundings.
@@Bushflare Yeah, all the stuff which characterized the Queen as an icon in her own right is so ingrained in our social fabric at the moment that were gonna have to get used to seeing her in media and have the bright red sign of "She's Gone now" flashing in our heads.
@@MatthewCobalt
She’s not gone.
She’s only gone ahead.
A whole load of taxpayer's money is spent unnecessarily.
The Royal Family actually pays the government around £160,000,000 per annum, which more than pays for the Royal Family. If we abolished the monarchy and had a Republican Head of State, that person would also require expenses
@@Joker-yw9hl Yeah but that money comes from estates and incomes which are only possesion of the royal family due to it's previous wealth, parts of which can obviously be traced to the exploitation of the public.
Soooooo when abolishing the monarchy, they shouldn't necessarily keep all the wealth they currently hold :)
Meaning most of that income from the royal family would still be paid to the government.
@@TheGlobali
No, they own the land. They’re the wealthiest landowners in the U.K.
It’s theirs legally. They’d retain the land and they’d also likely retain the land they lease out to the government, which is A LOT of land.
@@Bushflare I understand that they own it.
I'm saying they shouldn't.
@@Joker-yw9hl the crown estate legally isn't 'owned' by the government or the monarch so there would be a legal dispute to decide that. Not every Palace in the country belongs to the monarch, Buckingham Palace for example
Yup! All those things!!
Hilarious to see you own that old tweet on here of all places xd
One change you missed is the use of the kings crown instead of the Queens Crown. This is most prevalent in the military
so there are 2 crowns i the uk? explain i am curious
@@mitch8072
Kings have 2 heads.
OwO
It’s not necessarily a King or Queen’s crown - Her Late Majesty chose to adopt the St Edward’s Crown - which had been used to crown George V (after a hiatus of over 200 years), George VI and Her Late Majesty - on her Coats of Arms and monogram. His Majesty can effectively choose whichever crown he wishes - but it will be an interesting change if he wants to revert to the Tudor crown, which will indeed mean a great deal of change to uniform!
Something you didn’t mention for coins and stamps (not sure about other things) is that the king will be facing the other direction.
I believe the monarch on the notes has never changed. There was no picture of the monarch on the notes before Elizabeth II.
On English notes anyway.
i heard a while back that the direction a monarch faces on coins traditionally changes between monarchs and will do on notes aswell.
like the queen faces right on coins so charles would face left - she faces left on notes so charles would face right.
any idea if theres any truth to this ?
Boy did you butcher the pronunciation of Regina.
The UK and other commonwealth countries pronounce Regina with a long "i": Rej-eye-na/ rɪˈdʒaɪ.nə, while Americans and some European countries tend to pronounce it with a short "I": Rej-ee-na.
Actually, not in the UK. In UK schools (at least when I was at school nearly half a century ago) there were two styles of pronunciation - one following the church's historical use and the other used by classical academics. Caesar would be "Kaiser" or "Seize-er", formulae would be "formul-eye" or "formula-ee" and so on. As I understand it, neither style matches the true style once used in Rome. The pronunciation here is correct for the context, using the historical style, as I understand it.
That's one of the shittiest anthems around, gosh. It gives you depression.
>Year 2100
>Queer "Keeng"
>THEIR MAJESTY
I suspect theres a good chance in 2100 George will be the King
I dont know anything about the British traditions but keeping the Queen's face on the money would be a wonderful way to honor her legacy.
Quite interesting what has to change. Especially regarding the Anthem. Also regarding to the Anthem, while this video is very well made overall, you couldn't have chosen worse clips for people singing the Anthem. You can barely understand what's being sung while present in churches but video usually doesn't do it any favors, and those clips may just be some of the worst. Great video otherwise, but that bothered me a bit.
Time is marked as BC, AD and now AQ .
This is going to take some time to adjust
The Queen is all I have known
0:52 I'm going to have nightmares ...
You forgot all the police insignia with EiiR such as helmets etc
I wonder if all the people upset at the talk of abolishing the monarchy upon the Queens death as it was ‘too soon’ also are clutching their pearls at this topic and discussing the changes, isnt this also ‘too soon’…
… no? This is what Queen Elizabeth would have wanted. Talking about tearing down ether institution she spent her life redefining is a wildly different concept…
But then again, I suppose Republicans aren’t known for having good judgement.
@debunker Goes both ways
Republicans can speak amongst themselves but it’s not going to happen
@debunker
Why should anyone take your opinions on Britain seriously when your banter game is this bad? I mean honestly, take some pride in your speech. “No, not really.” Pathetic display. If you’re going to be wrong about the monarchy you should at least have the courtesy to be fun about it otherwise everyone’s going to equate republicanism with being a joyless sop. (We already do but you could do your part to change that, y’know?)
@debunker
I don’t think anyone here cares about this issue more than you do. lol
Won’t many countries take the opportunity to leave the common wealth and hence change the currency to have the face of famous citizens instead of the monarchy
We've had more join than leave recently. I mean even the likes of Mozambique, which was a Portuguese colony. I don't think there is a requirement to have the monarch's head on currency. Scottish and Ulster banknotes don't for a start.
During the choir singing, couldn’t understand 95% of what was being sung anyways
You missed a bit. Charles will face the other way on the coins as it's traditional to change the direction the monarch is facing when they change. George VI faced left on the coins, the Queen faced right so Charles will face left again
The requirements for Canada to break from the Monarchy are highly difficult:
It requires unanimity among the Prime Minister, the Senate, House of Commons and all 10 Provinces in a polarized age
Meaning it won't happen in our life time, lol
Wonder what would have if we in the UK got rid of the monarchy before you did (not going to happen anytime soon). Would you keep it? Wonder how it’d work.
Doesn't mean we have to plaster their dead looking faces on everything! We've got better people that were actually Canadians
i really think the should change the monogram of king charles because CR means toilet in the Philippines.
Then change the toilets.

Gotta piss somewhere.
I don't think Americans had any problem differentiating between their ER and the Queen. Just take a quick look around before you make a deposit from now on.

I feel like it would be simpler to just abolish the monarchy instead of putting the current baby Charles III on stuff
That’s the most ass backwards thing I’ve ever heard
The right thing to do is rarely simple.
@@Bushflare Doesn't mean everything convoluted is right
@@mme.veronica735
The place between simplicity and convolution is generally where the good ideas are found, yes.
Idk why but I'm rooting for the guy. Maybe that's how the monarchy keeps going
Not enough people care enough to bother changing. Then you have the issue that the alternative could be worse.
The monarch is ideally supposed to be the most British Briton. Queens Victoria and Elizabeth II definitely managed that. So the ideal is we want Charles to be the best of us, which means being invested in Britain's success also means being invested in the King's.
@@seriousmaran9414
The alternative would almost certainly be worse. Britain's identity as a nation is extremely tied to it's history and the Monarchy is a living embodiment of that. They're more than political figureheads, they help to reinforce the identity of the Britons and in so doing provide a sort of wellness you can't get from a President or Premiere.
@@Bushflare its sad you have such little faith in the people that you feel they need to be led by a figurehead like that.
France has an extremely strong identity and no monarchy to set an example, the Netherlands where I live has their monarchy but they arent an important part of the culture or identity either, with Dutchies having a sense of themselves coming from themselves.
Us Britons should aspire the same, maybe it will also encourage us to stop eating the shit handing down to us by our corrupt political leaders and insisting its good.
Back in my home country, Mauritius, it was common for families of indian origins to preserve their wealth through gold coins called "sovereigns". Many were eventually sold to pay for various expenses but they were usually passed down to the next generation with every daughter in law receiving one for the first born male. My mother received one when I was born and it's technically mine now. It's a gold sovereign of Queen Victoria from the 1870s
As a coin collector I am looking forward to the new coins and notes, especially the ones from Canada since I live in the US and occasionally find Canadian coins in circulation.
As an Aussie coin collector, upon waking to the news of Liz shuffling off I immediately went online to buy some proof sets, and by the end of the day they were pretty much sold out.
I picked up a gold Britannia last year on the suspicion it would be one of the last with Elizabeth II.
