So the Bank of England are going to be redesigning all of the bank notes, and are asking the public for ideas on themes.
Sorry Republicans, King Charlie will remain on one side though.
What would you want on there? A change? Or stick with historical figures?
Silly answers accepted

As the king is a Burnley fan they should be claret and blue

It'll be dead people, with at least as many females as males. And it won't be Margaret Thatcher, and it probably won't be a suffragette. Rosamund Franklin might get on as the best-known female scientist.

George Eliot might be a good outside bet.
Likely to be a literary figure among them.
