Australia is set to release a new $5 note, but for the first time, it will not feature a royal portrait. While the back of the note will still include an image of the Federal Parliament, King Charles’ portrait has been removed.
This decision has sparked intense debate among royalists. They believe it is a subtle attempt to push Australia towards becoming a republic.
However, the Reserve Bank of Australia has stated that the new note follows the theme “Connection to Country,” designed to honor Indigenous heritage and history.
With all this discussion, the main question remains—will you use this new $5 note?
