Today the Bank of England issued a new \u00a320 featuring Adam Smith, one of the fathers of modern economics. This is the first design in a new series of notes from the bank known collectively as \u201cSeries F.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new notes will circulate in parallel with the current \u00a320 (Pick 390), which will be progressively withdrawn from circulation.

The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is retained on the front, but the new note features a brighter color purple, as well as a large silver holographic strip, a registration device, additional intaglio printing, improved watermark, and more UV features to deter counterfeiters. The new note bears the signature of Andrew Bailey, Chief Cashier.<\/p>\n
A portrait of Smith appears on the back of the new note, along with an engraving showing \u201cThe division of labour in pin manufacturing\u201d with the parenthetical quote \u201cand the great increase in the quantity of work that results\u201d drawn from his major work, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.
