A new £20 note featuring a portrait of Scottish economist Adam Smith comes into circulation on Tuesday.The note includes a range of enhanced security measures designed to prevent counterfeiting, such as a wider holographic strip and microlettering.
The new image of Smith will mark the first time a Scotsman has appeared on a Bank of England note.
Current £20 notes, featuring English composer Edward Elgar, will be phased out over the coming months.
An image of Smith already appears on some Scottish £50 notes.
