Twenty pound note

As I've posted pictures of British coins here before, I thought I'd post some pictures of British paper money, too. Here is a twenty pound note:

Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse side of the twenty pound note and is on this side of all the other British banknotes. The current reigning monarch is always on the front of the currency.

The reverse side of the twenty pound shows Adam Smith, the Scottish economic theorist known as the "father of modern economics".

Would you like to see more British banknotes? I'd be happy to post about them!
