Banknote imagery expert panel minutes – 10 March 2026
The Bank of England convened an expert panel on 10 March 2026 to establish criteria for selecting a shortlist of UK wildlife for upcoming banknotes. The panel agreed that nominations must be wild, varied, and representative of diverse habitats while balancing public recognisability with the potential to highlight endangered species. The Bank plans to launch a public consultation on 3 June to vote on the final shortlist, with panel members tasked to support the process and advise on imagery portrayal.
