Australia has decided not to have King Charles on any of its banknotes, instead favouring an indigenous design.
He will still feature on its coins, but the move has renewed a call for New Zealand to follow suit.
The Aussie $5 note will no longer be fit for a king. After the death of Queen Elizabeth, the Reserve Bank there says King Charles should make way for a First Nations-inspired design. It's got the blessing of the government.
"It's no secret I would like Australia to become a republic, but this is a simpler nearer-term change," said Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers.
New Zealand has the Queen on our coins and $20 note. But the Aussie move has re-ignited the petition not to have her replaced with King Charles.
"Whatever he gets up to, whatever the institution gets up to has no relevance to my life and I don't doubt I am not the only New Zealand who feels like this," said Te Matahiapo Safari Hynes.
Politically, that's true.
"There are so many great New Zealanders, I would love to see more great New Zealanders on the currency," said ACT leader David Seymour.
The Prime Minister is open-minded.
"As we become a more independent and proudly independent nation then we will see more signs of New Zealand history reflected in our day-to-day lives as well," Chris Hipkins said.
The Reserve Bank has indicated any new coins will feature King Charles, but that is a long way off as is a new $20 note.
So while the Queen has passed away, she will still be with us for years.
