Quote:A Statement from the
Royal Canadian MintThe
Royal Canadian Mint wishes to remind consumers and businesses that the royal succession has no impact on coins currently in circulation. A change in Monarch does not require the replacement of circulation coins. Therefore, Canadians consumers and businesses can continue using all coins currently in circulation.
We are working on a plan to issue a variety of coins commemorating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's lifetime of service as Queen of Canada. The Mint will also support the Government of Canada as it works to determine a new obverse (heads) design for future Canadian coins
From this statement, I would assume that they're in no rush to make any big changes. Almost everyone who has chipped in on this topic (on other forums) seems to be of the mind that the earliest transition would be 2023 for coins & later for notes. I have followed the extreme slow trickle of $20 prefixes (several FY_ & FZ_ prefixes have only seen half the 10M serial numbers) & very few reported. There are about 20 prefixes that have very few numbers reported (or seen).
