First King Charles 50p coins enter circulation
Anyone receiving change in post offices across the UK may get a King Charles 50p coin for the first time. …
More coins will be released in line with demand, replacing damaged or worn 50p coins carrying the portrait of Queen Elizabeth. There are approximately 27 billion coins circulating in the UK bearing the image of the late Queen and these can still be used to pay for things. Before decimalisation, it was common for people to carry coins featuring different monarchs in their pockets.
