Following Her Majesty's death the Australian National
Bank announced that King Charles will soon appear on
the $5 note in her place. New coins will also be
minted with his portrait.

Would you rather have an Australian featured on our
$5 note? And if so, which one?

Hi Foxy,

Since you asked the question. 'MUM SHIRL' Coleen Shirley Perry Smith, a Wiradjuri woman, social worker and humanitarian activist committed to justice and welfare of Aboriginal Australians. Met her several times and she was without a doubt a true Australian, who only thought of others. Another is FRED HOLLOWS a migrant, Fred was born in New Zealand, through his humanitarian work Fred was also another true Australian.

With the death of Elizabeth Windsor, for Australia the anachronism of the monarchy died at the same time, and we should move to a Republic as soon as possible. That discussion should begin now.

Why the need for people on coins ? How about native fauna or flora ?

Indy. Yes I would go along with that.

"Why the need for people on coins ? How about native fauna or flora ?"

Coins, since their first invention, have had a head of some sort on at least one side. Its tradition.

Besides, how can you play two-up if one side isn't a head?

Equally, when they toss the coin prior to the Swans defeating Geelong on Saturday, they say 'heads or tails?'. Saying 'kangaroos or wattle?' doesn't have the same cadence.

I'd suggest Josh Frydenberg since he created more $aust than any person in history. Most of the $5 in existence are there because of his lack of fiscal rectitude.

His face on the currency would remind people who is responsible for the decline in the value of said currency.
