@blackcardlondon: The UK’s next banknotes are getting a new look 💷 The Atlantic puffin, barn owl, buff tailed bumblebee and European hedgehog will become the central images on the Bank of England’s next series of banknotes, celebrating some of the UK’s native wildlife. The four were chosen after almost 500,000 people took part in a public consultation, with the barn owl, bumblebee and hedgehog proving the most popular in their categories. The puffin was selected as the most popular marine animal, bringing a nod to Britain’s coastline to the new series. The final designs are yet to be decided, including which animal will appear on each denomination. Other elements from nature, including other animals from the shortlist, may also feature, while the portrait of the monarch will remain on the notes. It will be a few years before we see them in circulation. Designing, testing and printing a new series of banknotes takes several years, with the first denomination expected to launch over the next few years.
