I can tolerate a meaningless statement of "In God we Trust" versus a useless figurehead.
So does your money change every time a new monarch inherits?
Hey, then we could have so many more famous people on our money! Darwin, Shakespeare, Newton, Dickens, Agatha Christie, Churchill, Turing, Faraday, Hawking...the list goes on!
By my count, there are 4 notes which could have 2 famous Britons on each, and 7 coins that could have 1 on each. Ahhhh...one can dream.
We have Rutherford on our $100 bill

The queen is just on the back of our ones
