Brits urged to check their change for rare Queen Elizabeth coin

Queen Elizabeth II
  • The Royal Mint has announced the release of the final batch of Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins into circulation across the UK.
  • Over 23 million coins bearing the late Queen are being introduced alongside 7.5 million new £1 coins featuring King Charles III.
  • These 2022-dated Elizabeth II coins are set to become the rarest £1 denomination in active circulation.
  • This dual release, totalling almost 31 million coins, marks a historic transition for UK coinage, symbolising the shift from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to her successor.
  • All UK coins bearing Queen Elizabeth II's portrait will remain legal tender, and the public is encouraged to check their change for these new coins to add to their collections or remember the late monarch.
