We also asked the Prime Minister if Belize will switch the image of the deceased monarch Queen Elizabeth on Belize's currency notes to the image of the reigning monarch, King Charles.
He said Belizeans would have to make that decision by instruction to the Peoples Constitution Commission:

"Has there been a decision yet on what's going to happen with our currency notes, if we are going to keep the Queen or switch over to King?"
Hon. John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Let's put it this way, the notes are still good. Why would we spend money and get rid of it and hurry put the King on it at this time? I think as we go replacing them, quite likely we are going to put the King for now. We have to wait and see what will be the recommendations from the Constitutional Reform Commission that we just set up. We finally enacted into law, so they will be launched on the 1st November to do the actual work and if people want to take away that and then put your face on it, then we will put your face on it. But the point is that the Queen will stay for right now. When we replace the dollars, then certainly we will replace it right now for the king until the law is changed."
