Other nations’ currencies that feature the queen — from Australian, Canadian and Belizean dollars — also will have to be updated with the new monarch, but the process could take longer, because “it is much easier to enforce a new design in the country where it originates, rather than in other countries where different jurisdiction may take place,” the Coin Expert website said.
