Queen or King, Human or Animal, The Dollar Stands

And, now, will it be King Charles III on those notes? As you have already heard tonight - there's no decision on that yet - and there's no urgency to make that decision.

The Central Bank Governor stressed that regardless of whose likeness, man or woman, human or animal, is on the currency - its value and currency peg to the US dollar remains fixed by law:

"But my job here is to primarily hold the value, that value of the Belize dollar - to the US dollar, by act and also to ensure that there is a medium of exchange for it and stability across the system. `That is it. Who you put on it, it's not my concern, I don't want it to be counterfeited and I want it to have the same value."
