Hello everyone, this is the banknote encyclopedia of Huahuo, I am Huahuo.
This issue we will start to talk about the British currency - pound. The British pound is the local currency and basic currency unit of the UK. Its issuer is the Bank of England, and its representative symbol is £.
In the development of pound pound, it has gone through eight versions from the original white pound pound similar to a check to the F and G serial banknotes circulating today. The current pound pound pound meter can be divided into:
1. The denomination is 5 or 10 , Banknote (plastic banknote);
2. Denominations are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50p (penny) and 1, 2, 2, and 2 pounds coins.
of which 1 pound is equal to 100p. Paper money is mostly used for large expenses such as shopping and rent payment, while coins are mostly used for rides, coin phone calls and finding change.
British banknotes were printed by De La Rue, the world's largest banknote printing company. De La Rue has been printing banknotes for the Bank of England since 1860.
Let me first talk about several characteristics of pound banknotes:
1, "ultra-long standby" Queen of England
Currency, especially banknotes, although they are symbols of wealth, the patterns engraved on them are often the same as "money" , "wealth" is not related, but aims to highlight the spiritual and cultural system of a country. The RMB with Chairman Mao as the front and the representative attractions in our country as the back is a good example.
pounds are exactly the same. Since 1960, all British banknotes, whether they are 5, 10, 20, or 50 denominations, have the front of them, which is today's Queen Elizabeth II .
Queen was born in 1926, ascended the throne in 1952, was crowned in 1953, and has been in power for nearly 68 years. She is the longest-reigning monarch in British history, and can be said to be "super long standby".
2. The queen's "friends"
is consistent with the queen who symbolizes the history, culture and national spirit of the UK. The figure on the back of the pound banknotes selected many representative figures that make the people of the "corrupt country" proud of it. Like Newton, Nightingale, Shakespeare, Dickens, Faraday, Darwin, Churchill , etc.
Elizabeth II Queen has occupied the front of the pound banknote for nearly 60 years because of her "super long standby" but the "friends" on her back have changed batch after batch. I was simply in the last video. The characters on the back of the pound note are introduced.
3. The latest version of the banknote has been changed from paper currency to plastic banknote
pound banknote The latest version of the banknote is G sequence. As of now, 5-description pound (2017) and 10-description pound (2018) have been issued, and 20-description pound (2020) have been issued. It will be issued on February 20, and the 50-degree value is expected to be issued by the end of 2021.
The new version of the UK 5-pound, 10-pound denomination banknotes and the upcoming 20-pound banknotes are all new plastic banknotes. Plastic banknotes are an polymer polymer (polymer) banknotes, which are stronger, hygienic and It is difficult to forge it, and plastic instead of paper and become the base material for banknotes will also be the general trend.
or above is a simple description of British banknotes. I will appreciate and interpret the new version of 5, 10 and 20 pound plastic banknotes and the highest denomination of 50 pound banknotes. Friends are welcome to watch.
