Members of this list may like to know that Adam Smith's picture will in
future appear on the Bank of England twenty pound note, replacing Edward
Elgar (the composer, not the publisher). He is apparently the first
Scotsman (and perhaps the first economist?) to appear on a Bank of England
note. He is already pictured on a Scottish note.
