With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, many changes will need to implemented and one main one will be our currency which currently bears Her Majesty’s profile and has done for the last 70 years.
Preparations are already being made to get the face of King Charles III on our coins and banknotes, although it could be a while yet until they are in circulation. Her Majesty was the longest reigning sovereign to ever appear on British money after she ascended to the throne in 1952 following the death of her father, King George VI.
It won’t be long, though, until currency with the Queen’s image will be phased out and as it does disappear, it begs the question: which coins are worth keeping that could be valuable in the future? Britannia Coin Company coin expert Jon White reveals the coins that are worth keeping for a rainy day in a few years, reports the Liverpool Echo.
