English taxpayers paying for another coronation ceremony be like: 🥶*

* can't pay to heat their house.

Don't knock it, we get a day off when they die and a day off when we get a new one.

Sometimes we get a day off when they've been on the throne for a set number of years.

So for that reason I'd like to keep them.

Give us two extra bank holidays a year, and you can King Ralph all these motherfuckers.

I mean, it did bring more money into the economy than it took out of it, same with Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, so we could profit off of this

And least he got to be king first :P

I haven't seen any new coins yet with his face on it. It may be the shortest run of coins with a new face. I've had the same face on my coins for my entire life, these will be the first with a new one.

Shortest run was probably Edward VIII. My dad found a coin with Charles's face on it. I also bought a few commemoratives. I think it'll probably start appearing on £1 coins soon as they are the newest
