FX.co ★ Jane Austen to replace Darwin on Britain's £10 note

The image of the British novelist Jane Austen is likely to replace Charles Darwin as the new face on the country’s 10-pound note, BBC News said citing Mervyn King.
According to King, this has been a matter for debate in the Bank of England for two years and the most likely candidate is Jane Austen. However, Mark Carney, who is set to take office July 1, will give the final verdict on the note’s design, he added.
Jane Austen is one of Britain's best-loved writers of the 19th century. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. If Austen’s image appears on the tenner, she will be among the few women portrayed on British banknotes, including Queen Elizabeth II, The Daily Mail noted.
Prior to Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale was featured on the 10-pound bill. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Fry, English prison reformer and social activist, is to be replaced by Sir Winston Churchill on the 5-pound note in 2016.
In May 2013 the Women’s Room, UK feminist movement, has threatened to sue a lawsuit against the BoE over its decision to swap the portrait of Fry for the Churchill’s one. Meanwhile, the bank’s representatives said they had no bias in choosing the design of new notes.
