How long will it be before the dollar bills have “IN TRUMP WE TRUST” printed on the back.

不過，我們若做一點「歷史研究」，就明白其實紙幣裏的人物一直有如走馬燈。邱吉爾的肖像其實在2016年推出新版5英鎊紙鈔時才出現，並且是取代伊利沙伯‧弗萊（Elizabeth Fry）的。弗萊是著名的女社會改革家，尤其著力於監獄改革。當英倫銀行宣布將由邱吉爾「取代」弗萊登上新版5英鎊紙鈔時，也引發爭議。有女性主義團體甚至威脅依《Equality Act 2010》提出法律行動，要求銀行重新考慮並選擇女性人物。

Banknotes, beavers and a very British backlash

Politicians are furious Churchill will be replaced on banknotes. The RSPCA wants rats and pigeons to feature.

I do like outlier pieces - the earliest, latest, smallest, and, today, the LARGEST. Today, Thompson's Coins shared a video with what was, in the 1990s, the largest banknote in the world. Issued by the Philippines in 1998 it is a 100,000 Piso note issued to mark the centenary of independence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EFw4gVH_nI
