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.
