    The plastic £10

    The plastic £10: Release date for the new tenner, who's on it, and all you need to know Collectors are hunting for special editions of the new £5 polymer note - but what about the new tenner? Now the Bank of England launched the fiver, which features Sir Winston Churchill and is hailed as "longer lasting" and "harder to forge", attention is beginning to turn to the forthcoming plastic £10 note. Details on the upcoming new £10 note are sketchy, with officials remaining tight-lipped about its official release date. But it has been confirmed by the Bank of England that we can expect the new polymer £10 note in the summer of 2017. After this, a new plastic £20 note will be released in 2020. Jane Austen will feature on the upcoming polymer note, as confirmed by Bank of England Governor Mark Carney at a 2013 press conference. Mr Carney said: “Jane Austen certainly merits a place in the select group of historical figures to appear on our banknotes. "Her novels have an enduring and universal appeal and she is recognised as one of the greatest writers in English literature. "As Austen joins Adam Smith, Boulton and Watt, and in future, Churchill, our notes will celebrate a diverse range of individuals who have contributed in a wide range of fields.†Features of the design on the reverse of the Jane Austen note will include: The quote – “I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!†from Pride and Prejudice (Miss Bingley, Chapter XI). Portrait of Jane Austen. Commissioned by James Edward Austen Leigh (Jane Austen’s nephew) in 1870, adapted from an original sketch of Jane Austen drawn by her sister, Cassandra Austen. An illustration of Miss Elizabeth Bennet undertaking “The examination of all the letters which Jane had written to herâ€â€“ from a drawing by Isabel Bishop (1902-1988). The image of Godmersham Park. Godmersham was home of Edward Austen Knight, Jane Austen's brother. Jane Austen visited the house often and it is believed that it was the inspiration for a number of her novels. Jane Austen’s writing table – the central design in the background is inspired by the 12 sided writing table, and writing quills, used by Jane Austen at Chawton Cottage. From Birmingham Mail.
