Appreciation and Concern Over Currency Notes’ New Faces

Appreciation and Concern Over Currency Notes’ New Faces
In just a few months, Belize will be rolling out new currency notes, and they’re coming with some big changes. For as long as we can remember, we’ve always seen the face of the British monarch on our money. But that’s about to change. The late Queen Elizabeth II, whose face has graced our notes since her coronation in 1952, will be replaced-not by her son, King Charles, but by notable Belizeans. Some folks think this change should have happened back when we switched from British Honduras to Belize in 1973, or when we gained independence in 1981. Others worry that moving from a royal to a patriotic theme might have some impact on our currency’s value. In this edition of our Five Point Breakdown, News Five’s Marion Ali dives into what this change means for us. Here’s the scoop.

He said if if one US goes to 3$ to 1$ then it’s cheaper for Americans to come buy here YES! But we don’t produce attractive things to the Americans we imports everything! We the Belizeans will suffer a lot we will be the one who will suffer and need to find other places to move on
