Will the symbol change really? I think he said the notes are what will change. With removal of 'former heads of state' pictures, to 'national heritage' sites/monuments etc. correct me if wrong.

Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

The modern method is to use codes, like USD, GBP, KES, UGX, TZS etc as define by ISO4217. Symbols are on the way out.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

This is a no. A symbol should be complex, especially for money to reflect the difficulty in obtaining it.
