I hope I have been able to provide you with some further clarity today. I am sure that the rest of the roundtable will do so as well. I want to applaud the members of the ARRC who are working hard to make sure this threat to financial stability is avoided.
The old design coins will remain in circulation, so for those who are already missing the Queen you may take some comfort in this. The new $ polymer or “plastic” note will be issued once we have withdrawn the existing $ notes from circulation. This is because both notes are green and we do not want to create undue confusion.
