Frivolous waste of public recourses

Yet they don't realise it's plastic monopoly money with no intrinsic value and not backed by anything.

And you think mere numbers on a screen are?

[@shafhussain2378]

I wonder what would happen if the king was to croak. Bank of England would probs be like 'O for F sake, we just changed the bloody notes'

[@Rsmithy113]

How sad
What a waste of money changing all the notes he ain’t gonna be around for long and we will have to do it again

[@jacklodge8560]

how is it a waste of money the notes aren't being replaced, they are being introduced at the exact same rate as they were previously

Can't wait until someone explains they are only worth 10% of the original value (and falling!)

[@grahambaker7870]

I will change it for the old ones with the queen on it, don't want to look at old jug ears!

[@keldsleepnot7961]

Not my king!
Bout time he started housing some of the homeless in those hundreds of empty rooms he owns and never uses, that we pay to heat and maintain!

[@lukespooky]

wouldn't be much of a tourist draw if it was full of bagheads

[@godofcycling]

...and what charitable undertakings have you done this year? That's what I thought.

[@keldsleepnot7961]

@@lukespooky only small parts of royal palaces are actually open to the public. Leaving hundreds of empty rooms never being used.
It also shows what little you know about the street homeless if you think that they are all on drugs. Though I won't deny drugs are a problem that doesn't mean that anywhere near all homeless have a habit. My job is actually targeting vulnerable youth that have run away, mostly from abusive homes. Doing what we can to keep them from ending up in that situation.
Most come from poverty

[@keldsleepnot7961]

@@godofcycling I care for my 84 year old mother and I work for a homeless charity where my job is targeted at keeping vulnerable youth from a life on the streets. I also work a bit with homeless veterans. Two of whom now help with my mother when I'm at work, which they mostly do voluntarily.
Don't think you did think. Looks like you made many assumptions though.

As a republican I always applaud the monarchies only to print the king's head without body on their banknotes. There's hope for you guys, you understand the basic principle.

Pointless given we are suppose to be transferring to a digit currency only soon and cash will be no longer in circulation .
I’m surprised it wasn’t the first thing mentioned
In fact many places are adamant to not accept cash whilst it’s still legal tender

[@robtyman4281]

Believe it or not, there are still small shops in some parts of the UK who only take cash! - no cards at all!
Was staying at a friend's place in the country, and walked past one shop that had a sign in its window stating that it was "Proud to take cash. Cards not welcome here". Seriously I had to do a double take because I couldn't believe what I was reading!!
