Belize has announced a significant change to its currency by replacing images of Queen Elizabeth with those of national heroes. This decision, unveiled by Central Bank Governor Kareem Michael, also integrates advanced security features in the new bank notes set to circulate in June. The new bills will feature George Cadle Price and Philip Goldson, significant figures who symbolize Belize's fight for independence and national pride. Prime Minister Johnny Briceno emphasized the importance of remembering the sacrifices of national heroes, while public reaction has been mixed, reflecting concerns about both value and purpose of the redesign.
