Australia’s new $5 banknote will not feature Britain’s King Charles III, but rather a new design that honors “the culture and history of the First Australians,” its central bank announced Thursday. The design will replace the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Reserve Bank of Australia said in a statement, adding that the decision was made after consulting with the Australian government.
Officials have also said existing coins with the Queen’s image will remain legal tender “forever.” King Charles III will continue to be featured on coins, which the Royal Australian Mint is expected to start producing “in the second half of this year,” Andrew Leigh, the assistant minister for competition, charities and the treasury, told ABC Radio in an interview. The mint has said it expects to unveil the design of the first King Charles coins early this year.
The only reason for the monarch staying on the coins is because it is still the law. That will change.
That's even worse, putting the oppressed on the evidence of oppression instead of the image of the oppressor... progression smh
Maybe show the other notes? You are misleading people by selecting specific wording and sidelining certain facts. Other notes already have significant people from Australian history printed on them.
Some Abos rubbing sticks together. Such an amazing culture! Huff petrol and enter Dreamtime. Wow!

Great news, there is no reason for an australien bill to have a king on it - great that they make their money australien 🤗
Well done Australia!
Our sitting president is the weakest we’ve ever had in office. Our enemy’s consider him a joke. His border security is non existent. He’s giving away our money. Why does he need to take out a 250K loan when we pay for everything already?
The “first” Australians ? 👉
jackgibson74 Why shame 👑⚖🐕🦺

Most polls show that majority of Iranians support Prince PahlaviReza as their representative for the transitional period. We ask all the governments to start negotiations with him to reach a free and fair referendum for a democratic and prosperous Iran.
Poor decision. The aborigines were just the first colonists who were then overcome by the European colonists. The ‘First Australians’ were there for thousands of years and hadn’t managed to advance from the Stone Age. Hardly worthy of celebration.
The money is plastic but whatever.
Great decision 👏
Lol what for ? There's practically nobody left from that period since you guys butchered almost everyone there
What criminals 🤔
It’s about time they claim their independence

Not Paper, but Plastic.
Does Australia becomes a republic in the near future?
*Australia's king. He is the King of Australia.
So what, pictures of their prisoners on the penal colony?
Snore.
Any Australians who don’t want old banknotes featuring the Monarch, just parcel them up and send them to lountons to be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Little late for paper fiat currency, don’t you think?
Dear Canadian officials, please take note! JustinTrudeau bankofcanada
I don't care what's on our money, provided it's not Chuckie or any future royals of England. Australia should be rid of this family.
First Australians are the Aboriginals! that if great and fair!
Why say 'Britain's King' when talking about a country where he is also king?
Here we goooooooooo
Drat!
Time to ditch the monarchy... Australia needs to grow a pair and become a modern country, not a little commonwealth colony of England
