Note and Coin News

• The National Bank of Poland (NBP) will issue a commemorative 20 zloty banknote in July to mark the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw uprising, a major World War II operation by the Polish underground resistance to liberate the city from German occupation. The issue will be limited to 80,000 pieces and will be sold at a premium via NBP branches and online.
• The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has announced that circulating and commemorative coins will bear the Commonwealth effigy of King Charles III. The first coin with the new effigy is likely to be the 10 cents, with an expected minting date of 2025. The other four denominations will have a minting date of 2027. None of the new coins are likely to enter circulation before 2027, since coins typically enter circulation some two years after production.

The RBNZ has also confirmed that the $20 banknote – the only one to feature the monarch – will also feature the King, but that it will take some time for these to be issued due to the significant stocks of the $20 notes with the image of the late Queen.
