Finding the right face

You'd think it would be quite straightforward to choose a historical figure to include on a banknote, wouldn't you? Of course, the current monarch needs to be on the front of the note; the problem is who should appear on the back. Back in 1970, when the Bank of England began featuring past celebrities on its £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes, nobody used to question the choices. But that changed in 2013, when it was announced that the £10 note was going to be redesigned.

Just before this announcement, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had been chosen to replace prison reformer Elizabeth Fry on the new £5 note. The fact that there were now no women on the back of the banknotes made a woman the logical choice for the £10 note. Feminist activist Caroline Criado-Perez led a campaign to put pressure on the Bank of England to choose the novelist Jane Austen for the note. Criado-Perez and her supporters organised protests, sent out an online petition-signed by 35,000 people - and threatened legal action if their demands were not met.

This was only the start of the trouble, however. On the day the Bank of England announced that the new £10 note would, indeed, feature the author, social media sites were flooded with angry comments. There were attacks on the Bank of England for being too cautious in their choice, attacks on Jane Austen for being old-fashioned and, worse still, personal attacks on Criado-Perez and her supporters for promoting the choice of a woman. When she began to receive death threats, the activist closed her Twitter account. In response to the incident, the Bank of England announced that it would review the selection process in order to avoid such ugly reactions in future. Since then, a special committee has been set up to deal with the process. From now on, whenever a banknote has to be changed, the committee will choose a particular field, for example the visual arts, and the public will have two months to send in ideas. After that, a shortlist of candidates will be compiled and the governor of the Bank of England will choose a character from the list.
