When the queen dies, all british money with her face will become obsolete and will need to be replaced.

@newt I am sure there will be a period of transition so that old currency can be collected and new coins issued.

Like many people I am too young to remember the last time.

@zleap wiki says, it was in 1971. But not because of a monarch's death, but because in 1971 GBP finally became decimal.

@newt BNut the queens head would have still been on the old / new currancy of the time.

it would have changed when George VI died and Elizabeth II ascended to the throne.
