Bank of England picks wildlife for new banknotes

Original: bank of england new banknotes wildlife

The Bank of England has unveiled designs for new banknotes featuring British wildlife, with bees, puffins and owls set to replace the portrait of Winston Churchill, which has appeared on the current £5 note. The move marks a departure from the tradition of carrying the monarch's or historic figures' portraits on England's currency, and the choice of animals has quickly drawn attention and debate.

Why now: The announcement is a notable break from tradition in British currency design, prompting public reaction to the animals chosen.
