The Bank of England is responsible for the design, production, issue and distribution of bank notes. On 2 November 2018, the Governor of the Bank of England announced that the design of the new £50 note will celebrate the UK’s contribution to science. Members of the public have until 14 December to nominate a historical character who has contributed to science and influenced UK society to feature on the note.
