Rejected petition Put British flora and fauna on banknotes
More details
I would like our banknotes to celebrate British flora and fauna in the pictures on them. The pin factory that has featured on a banknote is not something that resonates or celebrates our nation, did not show anything worthwhile to visitors and was also rather depressing. Let's make our currency something to brighten our day and enjoy a robin or a daisy when we pay for our groceries. Thank you.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
The day-to-day arrangements for printing, issue and circulation of banknotes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, as is the issue of designs of banknotes, which is ultimately a matter for the Bank’s Governors. This includes the selection of characters for new banknotes.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
