Hedgehog Wins Contest to Replace Historical Figures on UK Cash

The Bank of England will replace historical figures on its banknotes with four native animals: an Atlantic puffin, a barn owl, a buff-tailed bumblebee and a European hedgehog. The move follows a public consultation in which nature was the most popular theme, with historical figures ranking third among 44,000 responses. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage called the plan "the definition of woke." Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, JMW Turner and Alan Turing currently appear on UK notes. The Bank has not decided which animal goes on which denomination, and the new notes are years away.
