Australia will erase the British-based monarch from its banknotes, replacing the late Queen Elizabeth II's image on its $5 note with a design honouring Indigenous culture, the central bank has said.

The decision to leave her successor Charles III off the $5 note means no monarch would remain on Australia's paper currency.

Australia is a constitutional monarchy, a democracy with Charles as its head of state. A referendum proposing a switch to a republic was narrowly defeated in 1999. The RBA's move was hailed by the nation's republican movement, which noted that Indigenous people predated British settlement by 65,000 years.

Why use the word erase? The correct word is surely replace.

one note only!!!! also its the Australian monarch if u want to do FACTS 🇦🇺🇳🇿

Now remove them as your head of state and go and stand on your own two feet

All those former colonies need to wise up and ditch any connection with these parasites. The flag , head of state and currency remnants are just reminders of a brutal past suffered by indigenous peoples, at the hands of violent thugs, who acted in the name of an unelected crown!

Sfira will still accept any notes with the monarchs portrait .

About time too

JoeBrolly1993 Okay but what about this: Charles, but giving two thumbs up signs?

👏👏👍

Hurray. Hopefully Canada will be next. They replaced the bad guy on the 10 dollar bill. It’s unpleasant seeing her on the money here

Sounds like an excellent move
