I read that pre-decimilisation it was common to find coins with different monarchs depicted on them, presumably because they last a bit longer than notes. My understanding is that they are in no great rush to remove ER II notes/coins from circulation, but that all newly minted currency will bear Charles III. There's also a great joke doing the rounds that most notes already have Charlie on them anyway.
