The first 1 pound coins featuring King Charles III are entering circulation this week.
Almost three million coins have been issued to post offices and banks across the country.
The coins mark the King's reign and celebrate his love of the natural world, with the reverse side featuring a pair of bees.
Even as the King becomes a familiar sight on coins, those featuring Queen Elizabeth II will remain in circulation.
New sets of coins are struck in response to demand.
