Bank of England has announced today that its new family of banknotes will feature images of the UK’s wildlife. 

This theme was widely chosen in consultations carried with experts and the general public.

The new banknotes will show the portrait of the monarch.

The complex process to create this new generation of banknotes will take several years.
