- A new polymer 10-pound note featuring one of the world's most famous female novelists, Jane Austen, entered circulation in the UK.
- Apart from the Queen, whose portrait is on all U.K. currency, Austen is only the third woman to feature on a modern-day British banknote, after medical innovator Florence Nightingale and social reformer Elizabeth Fry. She was chosen after a campaign for more female representation.
