How will currency change after Queen Elizabeth's death? King Charles III will be featured on new bills starting in 2024, though money with the Queen's portrait will continue to be valid.
The King's portrait will replace the existing images of Queen Elizabeth II, while the rest of each banknote's design will remain the same. The new notes will enter circulation by mid-2024, according to the Bank of England's website.
All money and coins currently in circulation will be phased out and replaced with tender featuring the face of Charles. Any of your cash still featuring Queen Elizabeth will still be legal for use though. This new currency will slowly replace any featuring the Queen's image and it is expected to be a gradual process.

As for the Royal Mint, every coin it creates from January 2023 onward will bear Charles' image, starting with 9.6 million 50-pence coins. Tender featuring Elizabeth will be valid for the foreseeable future, and will circulate with the new currency.
Queen Elizabeth is believed to have left an estate worth approximately 782 million dollars solely to her son, King Charles. King Charles' inheritance from his mother will not be taxed due to the fact that money exchanged from "monarch to monarch" is exempt from taxation.
King Charles' face will be printed on one side of each note, while a smaller emblem of his headshot will also appear in the transparent security window. In the image, King Charles faces head on, looking straight out from the banknote, rather than being in side profile.

The current circulating designs with the Queen's face on will be discontinued as the effigy of King Charles replaces them.

Who inherited Queen Elizabeth's money? According to Fortune, King Charles, Queen Elizabeth II's eldest son with Prince Philip who ascended to the throne after her death, inherited most of her $500 million in personal assets after her death.
After an historic 70 years on the throne, Britain's longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, died at the age of 96 on Sept. 8, 2022. Immediately upon her passing, her eldest son Charles became the new king.
