The News that the Bank of England is reviewing it Banknote design and will be putting Jane Austen on the Ten Pound Note
And now our NZ Banknotes will be getting a make over But where are our New Faces?
There are a few more Kiwis that could have a go so to speak Personaly I would nominate John Clarke (aka Fred Dagg) in a Black Singlet for the $5 Maybe Beatice Hill- Tinsley for the $10 perhaps, Erueti Te Whiti or Kiri Te kanawa on the $50 and Sir William Pickering for the $100. Great KIWIS All.
I would also like to see our Iconic Scenery on the Notes, the View of Mitre Peak, Queenstown from Bob’s Peak, Wellington from the Cable Car, Auckland’s Harbour Bridge
the Volcanic Plateau from the Desert Road, Lake Manapouri’s Panorama, Lake Tekapo & Mt Cook, Lake Waikaremoana, Otago Harbour... We can go on... The point is There are lots of cool options we can use if we fancy a change in our change..
And I would Love to see the $1 coin have the old 1c Silver Fern on it and the old 2c Kowhai on the $2
(Or perhaps some one-off Tolkien Coins for Hobbit Fans)
Why should Poms have all the fun!
