Which doctor is on the money?
This week’s buzz ranges from Margaret Thatcher to England defender Harry Maguire riding a unicorn, all centered on one question: who will be the new face of the £50 note? Despite suggestions to scrap the note altogether—citing its rare use amid the rise of cashless payments and digital transactions—the Bank of England has decided to release a redesigned, more secure version.
How Does the Bank of England Choose?
The selection process is overseen by the Banknote Character Advisory Committee. This group first decides on a specific field to be represented, then opens the floor to public nominations. For example, in 2015, they chose visual arts for the £20 note, leading to nominations for figures like L.S. Lowry, Maxine Peake, and Tony Hart.
