The Queen of england apparently on deathbed...

charles is like 72.... if we can keep him off the money long enough for him to die and Prince William to become king before we start putting someone else on our money, the better...with having 300+ machines in our routes, i'd seriously rather only have to reprogram things once.

it's a genuine concern of mine since some acceptors are EOL and probably won't get updated with new firmware, necessitating $400 to swap out with a new unit.

keeping old ones out there despite the fact that they don't take new money is jank AF.
Zebidee:
Why would the Bank of England change anything other than the head printed on the notes?

They have no interest in making bother for people in industry. Whole lot of people out there using machines to check and count money.

Relevant things for note checkers, such as the note's dimensions, watermark and magnetic strip etc. would stay the same, wouldn't they?

What exactly do your note acceptors check?
Zebidee:
When King Bhumipol of Thailand died 6 years ago, and his son became king, all that happened was they changed the head printed on the notes. Nothing else was required AFAIK. No ATMs going offline or whatever.

They started issuing new king's head notes. Over time, as the older notes age, the banks send them off to be destroyed.

Now, most of the notes I see just have the new king.

Why do you live in Thailand again?

Many, including myself, were hoping she'd go well beyond that, if only to keep charlie and the horse off the throne.

A very sad day.

Yeah we wouldn't want you guys to get with the rest of the free world and embrace a true democratic republic minus all the ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- figure-head pageantry.   The queen seemed like a really nice lady and we are all sorry to see her go but keep in mind that her entire station in life was wrong because having non democratically elected leaders, even glorified honorary ones, is wrong.
