NEW £10 BANKNOTE DESIGN
As part of the continuing programme to maintain the integrity of the note issue, a new version of the Bank of England £10 banknote will be issued in the autumn of 2000. The introduction of this new version of the £10 note follows on from the successful issue of the new version of the £20 note featuring Sir Edward Elgar last year. The new £10 note is in the style of the new £20 note, and bears similar design and security features. To allow for the easy identification of the new £10, the reverse includes a portrait of the naturalist and scientist Charles Darwin, replacing the current design featuring Charles Dickens. The new £10 belongs to the same design family as all other Bank of England notes in circulation, and retains the main design features of the current £10 on the front of the note, including the existing portrait of the Queen.

We must publicise Darwinism. About half the adult population of the USA believe the world was created in 6 days. A third of Brits think the same. Three of the US Republican candidates said on TV they don't believe in evolution. A majority of Americans believe in the great flood and Jonah's Ark - and 12% believe Jonah was married to Joan of Ark! The friends of Darwin have a lot to do to try and inform the public and OPPOSE the evil of creationism in all its disguises.
