Cash physically wears out over time, so some amount needs to be re-minted each year to replace the ones that are too worn to be used as currency. In the case of bills, most countries also make updates to the design and materials in an attempt to deter counterfeiting. Coin usually gets small cosmetic changes every so often, like in Canada, every so often the “heads” side is updated with a new portrait of the monarch (currently King Charles)









It does seem they’re suffering from the same rightward-slide that many other countries are facing though, unfortunately.
