The five, ten, twenty and fifty pound notes are changing their design. Where previously, on the reverse, there was the face of Churchill, Jane Austen, Turner and Alan Turing, respectively, there will now be an animal from the British wildlife, chosen from a pre-selection of eighteen, selected by a group of experts. On June 3rd, a public consultation was opened for this purpose, which will close on July 3rd. The public can opt, among others, for the hedgehog, the puffin, the badger, the marten, the red fox or the buff-tailed bumblebee. The candidates to appear on the new paper money have been divided into three categories: mammals, birds, and a third group including amphibians, insects and fish. "Can you lend me a beaver?" may soon mean "can you lend me five pounds?". And "can you pass me a bumblebee?", may mean "can you pass me 50?" Mysteries of slang.
