WQ.254/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES
BY DEPUTY H.M. MILES OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 2nd JUNE 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 9th JUNE 2025
Question
"Will the Minister advise what steps, if any, have been, or are being taken regarding the issuance of Jersey currency bearing the name and image of King Charles III, and provide an estimated timeline for the introduction of new notes and coins into circulation?"
Answer
The Government of Jersey currently holds a significant stock of banknotes featuring the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This is due to the need for large minimum print runs, which are required to achieve value for money in a smaller jurisdiction such as ours.
While the introduction of a new series of notes has been explored, current stock levels are such that it shall be some time before any final decision is made on whether a new family of notes is required, and which design options may be preferred. This approach ensures that unnecessary costs are avoided, and that value for money is maintained on behalf of the public.
