Hedgehog among four chosen animals to feature on your new banknotes

The Bank of England has revealed the animals selected to feature on its next series of banknotes. This decision follows a public consultation where nearly half a million people voted from a shortlist of 18 creatures, with the hedgehog being among the four chosen animals. The Bank of England stated that the first denomination from this new series will be launched over the next few years, marking the next generation of the institution's currency notes.
