Unlikely this guy will get caught (again).

I would've given you more likes for this if it was possible.

I think you're talking about the back of the note. The front of the note usually has the head of state on it, in commonwealth countries, such as Australia and Canada etc, this would be the British monarch. A quick Google search tells me there are currently 35 countries which have the image of the British Queen currently on their bank notes.

Now that she has passed, I would imagine Australia won't be the only country to remove the British monarch from their notes. To be fair, even as a Brit, I find it very strange that other countries have our monarch as their head of state. If I were Australian or Canadian, I'd be pretty pissed that my head of state wasn't a national of my own country.

How many of your posts begin with ‘probably’ ...... Probably you could be Ruler of the World if you spent a little time in reality instead of wallowing in your imagination ..... just sayin’ .....

Oh, they're putting The King on notes! The Queen was quite alive and she was Everywhere.
(The Commonwealth did not cease to exist upon her passing)

With a cursory glance through the fluff clickbait BBC article it suggests 'several years'. It reminds me of the attempt to put Harriet Tubman on the American 20, which has been in limbo for just as many years)
