HOW TO BAG A KING'S FORTUNE

the rare King Charles III banknotes now in circulation

New banknotes  featuring King Charles III  are now in circulation   - and some could be  worth much more than  their face value.

His Majesty's portrait  will appear on the existing designs of all four banknotes, with no other changes made.

The switch from currency featuring the late Queen Elizabeth II will be gradual and new notes with the King's face on will replace worn-out ones or to meet an increase in demand.

Some of the new  Bank of England notes  will be worth more than their face value  - as collectors seek out  rare early versions.

For each prefix,  there are 999,000  notes printed and  put into circulation  - from 000001 to 999000.

Some early versions, including those with  codes ending 000001,  will not be available.  But experts say the following codes  should be circulated  and most in demand.

£5: CA 01 000003  £10: HB 01 000002 £20: EH 01 000002  £50: AJ 01 000003
