Retain the Monarch's Image on the Australian $5 Note
Retain the Monarch's Image on the Australian $5 Note
The issue
As an Australian, the image of our monarch on our currency is more than just aesthetics, it's a statement of allegiance, a symbol uniting us under a constitutional monarchy. As our head of state, the king or queen deserves their rightful place on our money, starting with our $5 note. We feel a sense of loss and disrespect when discussions arise to remove this symbolic image. We respectfully appeal to the Royal Australian Mint and the Reserve Bank of Australia, who have the authority to make this alteration, to retain this time-honored tradition. Did you know that around 15 million new $5 notes are produced each year as per the Australian Currency Act 1965? Each one of these notes is a silent ambassador of our enduring ties to the monarchy. Let us continue this centuries-old tradition for the sake of history, stability, and unity. Please help us in the battle to preserve this formidable force in our country. Sign the petition to make your voice heard and keep the monarch's image on our $5 note.
