The ARM will also ask the government not to replace the Queen with King Charles III's head on coins from next year, Daily Mail Australia understands. The group has temporarily suspended its campaign for a republic until after the Queen's burial next week in London. But ARM reportedly considers removing royals from Australian currency an important factor in the group's advocacy when it renews activities. Daily Mail Australia has contacted FitzSimons seeking comment for this story. A member of the ARM told The Australian it was 'ridiculous' for Australian to have already said it would use the King's image on coins, starting in 2023. ARM is thought likely to bide its time before proposing an Australian-born replacement to the royals on coins and the $5 note. It will initially focus on sparking a public debate on the issue.
