Australia is removing the British monarchy from its banknotes.

Australia’s central bank announced Thursday that it will not be replacing the image of the late Queen Elizabeth II on its $5 bill with an image of King Charles III.

The new bill will instead feature an Indigenous design that honours the island’s original inhabitants.

“The Reserve Bank has decided to update the $5 banknote to feature a new design that honours the culture and history of the First Australians,” Australia’s bank wrote in a press release. “This new design will replace the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”

The reverse side of the bill will continue to feature the Australian Parliament, the bank said.

King Charles is still expected to appear on Australia’s coin — as soon as this year — but the $5 bill was Australia’s only remaining banknote to feature an image of the British monarch.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the change was an opportunity to strike a good balance.

“By the 20th century, chess had come to define Ströbeck’s identity. A glass case in the museum contains a bundle of emergency currency notes with chess motifs, issued locally at the height of hyperinflation of the early 1920s. One note, entitled ‘fool’s mate’, shows the US president Woodrow Wilson metaphorically checkmating Germany with the ‘14 points’ speech that became the basis for the Treaty of Versailles.”

Going off tangent: British money still is weird

Ulster Bank 50 pounds note
