Becomes king
Fucking dies
Lmaooo
English taxpayers paying for another coronation ceremony be like: 🥶*

Don't knock it, we get a day off when they die and a day off when we get a new one.
Sometimes we get a day off when they've been on the throne for a set number of years.

I haven't seen any new coins yet with his face on it. It may be the shortest run of coins with a new face. I've had the same face on my coins for my entire life, these will be the first with a new one.
Shortest run was probably Edward VIII. My dad found a coin with Charles's face on it. I also bought a few commemoratives. I think it'll probably start appearing on £1 coins soon as they are the newest
