New £10 Note
Have Jane Austen on them.....Meh....
''Jane Austen has been confirmed as the next face of the £10 note in a victory for campaigners demanding female representation – aside from the Queen – on the country's cash. Sir Mervyn King, the Bank's former governor, had let slip to MPs that the author of Pride and Prejudice was "waiting in the wings" as a potential candidate to feature on a banknote, and his successor, Mark Carney, confirmed on Wednesday that she would feature, probably from 2017. "Jane Austen certainly merits a place in the select group of historical figures to appear on our banknotes. Her novels have an enduring and universal appeal and she is recognised as one of the greatest writers in English literature," the new governor said.'' Which woman would you have preferred to see? http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...appear-10-note |

I like it
|
I'm so proud of her
|
I like that the money is going back to a more classical design, rather than the big blocky lettering we have currently.
|
Looks like it should be worth at least £11.
|
Who is it?
|
Jane Austen ^

No living person can appear on a banknote anyway. My choice would be Annie Besant. |
