Anger over replacing Elizabeth II in Fiji

Remember when I wrote about the upcoming new banknotes in Fiji last week? And their plans to replace the image of Queen Elizabeth II with local flowers and perhaps the head of somebody else? Well, apparently not everyone is wild about this idea. The local chiefs have protested the decision, stating that she is still the queen of Fiji and has been given the title of highest chief in the country.

Still another 8 days to go before we are sure what the new notes will look like...
