Queen Elizabeth II’s likeness will continue to grace Canadian coins, bank notes, and stamps for some time, but will eventually be phased out to introduce replacements bearing the image of Canada’s new monarch, King Charles III, according to federal institutions.

The Royal Canadian Mint says Canada’s coins, all of which carry a side profile of Queen Elizabeth II, will remain legal tender and will not be taken out of circulation any time soon.
