All Australian money bearing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II remains legal tender, and is likely to circulate for many years to come.
Australia's currency is set to undergo a major transformation after the death of Queen Elizabeth, with some experts saying one coin may be removed from circulation. More than 15 billion coins have been minted in Australia during the Queen's historical 70 year reign.
After a period of mourning observance, new coins and notes with King Charles III's image will need to be designed and minted or printed, but are not likely to appear in general circulation for some time. Any new image of a monarch would need agreement and sign-off from Buckingham Palace, which means that.
But the change will only be for this collectable coin, and not for normally circulated coins. “Any new circulation coins minted next year will be dated 2022 until the King Charles III effigy is introduced,” he told 7News. The coin has been called Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Obverse and will be released in January 2023.
Federal parliament (due to return next week) will be suspended for at least 15 days after the death of Queen Elizabeth.

The Royal Mint has already given the British public a first glance at what their new currency will look like featuring King Charles, unveiling an official coin effigy that was designed by British sculptor, Martin Jennings. The Bank of England is set to reveal how the updated banknotes will look by the end of 2022.
The Queen's actual funeral will take place at Westminster Abbey nine days after her death, and The Guardian reports that basically everything will be closed—including the stock market—due to a “day of national mourning.”
New banknotes featuring King Charles are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024. Current banknotes featuring the portrait of the Queen will continue to be legal tender and will eventually be removed from circulation once they become worn or damaged.
On the day of the funeral, schools and businesses will close, there will be a two-minute national silence, and the Stock Exchange will close. On Saturday 10 September, the King signed a proclamation stating that the day of the Queen's funeral (Monday 19 September) will be an official Bank Holiday across the UK.
In his video titled “Australia's rarest circulating $2 coin”, the man showed exactly how to detect a fake $2 coin featuring the iconic red flower. “The 2012 red poppy currently has a value of $180,” Joel said. “Due to its high value, people have been trying to make imitations and sell them on the market.”
