I moved to Japan about 16 years ago and my family who is visiting me showed me the new King Charles loonie. When I put it in hand, it felt much thinner than what I remember. Is this because it IS actually thinner or am I just too used to Japanese coins?

I honestly don't think I've seen a King Charles loonie. If I have, I didn't notice the difference in size. Still seems strange to me that coins or currency doesn't have the Queen still.
