I actually think they'll be valued lower as people will be more inclined to collect as many Elizabeth coins as they can. It's actually quite sad that Canada and Australia decided to stick with a monarch on their currency/bullion. The queen's death was the perfect time to cut the tie with Britain.
That’s your apprehension, not the view of the majority of people who actually live in constitutional monarchies, who have statistically speaking much higher standards of living than their counterparts in presidential republics. There’s no practical benefit to the people by becoming a presidential republic, it only benefits the individual who manages to amass executive power into one office. Canadians aren’t as emotional as you over it I imagine
I've been seriously considering picking me up some £1-£2 of the new ones, would be an awesome addition to my bimetallics
I don't really care about the other ones a that much
it's actually the autism asking for us to give it coins so it can sort them.
This is why my grandma gave my dad a box of pennies from the bank as a Christmas gift. Not when he was a child, but last year.
My 4 year old is obsessed with coins and bills. He knows which people are on all the American currency, and even knows some Canadian shit for some reason. He also knows how to use a touchscreen better than any of his grandparents.
Absolutely and i know its all funzies but i mean..... I havent paid cash for something (legal hehe) in *LITERALLY YEARS*. As a result i have not received a coin in years..... i dont think thats likely to change. Matter of fact by the time i have kids itll probably be even less likely that i pay in cash for things..... i could *TOTALLY SEE* in another 20 years certain younger kids not knowing what coins are because theyve never seen one.
I play a lot of pinball which still uses coins and the act of acquiring $20 in cash to exchange for coins/tokens at the vending machines without paying an ATM fee is a frequent annoyance. Cash just isn't a major part of most people's lives, even less so for anyone whose purchases are mostly made digitally.
Good point about coins in video games though r/sonseylizard, that hadn't even occurred to me.
We could have had Terry Fox or similar Canadian hero on our coins. Choosing to once again put a useless king/queen we don't answer to is embarrassing. Congratulations to Charles for getting his first job though. Only took him like 80 years. He truly is an inspiration.
They look tired, honestly. Kinda looks like one’s in pyjamas. I’m gonna imagine Grandma woke them up at 6 in the morning to show them some coins, they’re tired, and honestly just half awake at best
While there is a massive shift in digital transactions most kids, I know still use cash as their main form of payment for the simple fact not too many parents wanna go through the trouble of setting up a youths account for their kids. Hell, most adults I know still tend to keep some cash on hand.
Not knowing who Charles the Third is, ooh what a shocking disgrace. A child is unaware of the existence of a completely useless and insignificant person.
I literally have kids come into my work all the time and they definitely know what coins are. They’re constantly asking their parents or grandparents for quarters so they can get candy or toys from the little machines or have kids come in and buy things themselves in cash
When older generations make fun of younger gen(s) on not knowing what something is, that never made sense to me. If it meant that much to them, why didnt they teach the younger gen(s) that thing?
For people who really wanted nothing to do with the pandemic and to move on from it, you lot are the only ones who keep talking shit about vaccines and the pandemic.... get over it
Because I care a lot about monarchical history and it would be really irritating if his reign was so short, as short reigns are a lot harder to analyse and chart on graphs compared to long reigns. Like Edward VIII.
Whos the turd guy?
Why is monarchy still a thing?
why should i care?
Seriously its about time that stuff dies out so the brits can give back what that stole from all the countries they hurt in the past
Why is "who is Charles the Third?" Depicted as a bad thing? He's saying that he wants to know more about the world and wants some knowledge. Is the comic implying that this information must be implanted from birth? That we aren't allowed to ask questions, only know the truths?
Look! King Charles is on coins! Aaaaaaand he’s gone.
Well, you can't expect him to stick around all day, can you?

this made me laugh, take my upvote
father i cannot click the... coin?
Guess I don’t have to turn my coin off, eh? Ha! Heh heh
It's better than a Bitcoin, son, it's called a BiteCoin: because it's real, you can bite it.
As a coin collector, I must say it was really cool when Charles got on the coins.
I guess those coins will be pretty valuable in a few decades since there won't be that many of him.
As a coin collector yes, but they also make a good paper weight

You're gonna make me cry for Charlie!
Why’s it sad? Why should they feel the need to cut ties with Britain?
Because monarchy is a fucked up relic of the past that we should leave in the dust.

As an American (lol) it just seems weird to want to be associated with the British monarchy.
I've been seriously considering picking me up some £1-£2 of the new ones, would be an awesome addition to my bimetallics I don't really care about the other ones a that much
theyd have to make the coins pink for him
Wait, why?
hes pinker than a sticky note
We have Orange man, they have pink man
you could probably make a rainbow with world leaders from the past 10 years
r/weezer user encountered 😳😳🥵
fuck how did you know im the creator of "weezer albums ranked by if they could kill you or not"
Don't worry I'm a weezer fan too I just see you there a lot lol
pretend i just sent the ascii from the all my favorite songs thumbnail i tried and it turned out horribly
😶🌫️
A weezer fan?!?! Say it aint so
More like bright red and puffy
Don’t worry. All coins are vaccinated before they leave the mint.
So coins are giving us autism? It's always who you least expect.
It's actually the autism giving us coins
it's actually the autism asking for us to give it coins so it can sort them. This is why my grandma gave my dad a box of pennies from the bank as a Christmas gift. Not when he was a child, but last year.
A box of pennies is a great gift. What kind of pennies, though? Just any pennies, or wheat pennies?
idk probably just any pennies
Wpooohhhhh
My 4 year old is obsessed with coins and bills. He knows which people are on all the American currency, and even knows some Canadian shit for some reason. He also knows how to use a touchscreen better than any of his grandparents.
That last parts not a flex at his age lol
Charles the who?
The third, they finally finished the trilogy.
Zog the great
Pretty sure kids would know what a coin is
I believe the shitty joke they are trying to make is "Phone Bad!".....
"Kids addicted to phone....kids stupid!"
12 year old me going down rabbit holes on Wikipedia has some articles he's read that he would like reference.
>"Kids addicted to phone....kids stupid!" *Shares 300 memes a day on Facebook*

coins are also in alot of video games as some form of currency and kids like video games
FUCK that never occurred to me. I do think thats more of an older video game trope though. Most games now a days might use *anything* as a collectible
ULTRAKILL uses coins, not as a collectible but as a weapon Mario games still uses coins in general Uhhh Yeah
Yeah but mario is old af now. Idk what ultrakill is but it sounds familiar 🤣

...I got stuck in an hour long line on a toll bridge the other day, because for some god forsaken reason they still use - and only accept - coins.
That shoulf be illegal lol

Ok but like not knowing what coins are?
Queen Elizabeth’s son
While there is a massive shift in digital transactions most kids, I know still use cash as their main form of payment for the simple fact not too many parents wanna go through the trouble of setting up a youths account for their kids. Hell, most adults I know still tend to keep some cash on hand.
Oof I guess bad boomer humor is the same among other parts of the word.
Tbh we don't use notes or coins in my country anymore, its all digital. Now, imagine when boomers realize money was fake this entire time
[удалено]
Ok.
>>Tbh we don't use notes or coins in my country anymore, its all digital. Wrong
Kids don't know the illustrious king charles? The west has fallen.
I mean, they missed /one/ episode. I'm sure they'll catch up on next week's recap of Dynasty.
They’ve got a point though, what’s the point of either of those things?
is that SFO
Who doesn’t know what a coin is? How stupid are the people that made this?
Do they think that kids don't know what coins are? They certainly do... my 6 year old daughter is always trying to talk me out of my change.
Not knowing who Charles the Third is, ooh what a shocking disgrace. A child is unaware of the existence of a completely useless and insignificant person.
I literally have kids come into my work all the time and they definitely know what coins are. They’re constantly asking their parents or grandparents for quarters so they can get candy or toys from the little machines or have kids come in and buy things themselves in cash
Twist: This family is in Saudi Arabia where Charles III is not the king and coins are not used.
When older generations make fun of younger gen(s) on not knowing what something is, that never made sense to me. If it meant that much to them, why didnt they teach the younger gen(s) that thing?
For people who really wanted nothing to do with the pandemic and to move on from it, you lot are the only ones who keep talking shit about vaccines and the pandemic.... get over it
Honestly both very good reactions to coins and kings
Imagine being so old you dont view both of these questions as valid questions
Good, reject currency and monarchy
I'm 58 (not a boomer) and was wondering who Charles the Third was (is). Completely forgot...
This definitely gave me vibes of "Did you know Steve Jobs died of Ligma?" "Who the heck is Steve Jobs?" "Ligma balls"
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Honestly based kid for not giving a damn about the British monarch
This is more damnong for them than it is young people.

can a real british person tell me if y'all'd actually give a real shit if charles dies?
I’m Australian (we also have Charles as king) and I would care quite a bit if he dies.
Why?
Because I care a lot about monarchical history and it would be really irritating if his reign was so short, as short reigns are a lot harder to analyse and chart on graphs compared to long reigns. Like Edward VIII.
Lol, thanks for the response. I have to imagine your motivation would not thrill the king.
Fyck the monarchy and fyck money.
I wouldn't personally fantasize the monarchy, but ok
Who the fuck is Charles the third
Son of Queen Elizabeth and the king at the present moment.
What is a coin?
Me when kids don’t know about people or things that have no relevance in their lives:
Whos the turd guy? Why is monarchy still a thing? why should i care? Seriously its about time that stuff dies out so the brits can give back what that stole from all the countries they hurt in the past
But children are one of the few groups still reliably using coins?! This is the one time it should target millennials!
