New British Banknotes Will Feature Wild Animals

British banknotes, or paper money, will soon have a new look. Four wild animals will appear on future cash notes in the UK.

will soon have a new look= 在不久的將來會換上全新的外觀或設計

People in the UK voted for their favorite native animals. The European hedgehog, the barn owl, and the buff-tailed bumblebee won the public vote. A sea bird named the Atlantic puffin was also chosen to celebrate Britain's coast.

These four animals will replace famous historical figures on the back of the banknotes. For example, former Prime Minister Winston Churchill will no longer be on the five-pound note. The bank changes money designs regularly to prevent fake notes.

will no longer be= 將不再存在或不再出現在某個位置

Each animal will appear on a different banknote. The process will take a few years because new security features must be tested before printing.

security features= 為防止偽造而在貨幣等物品上記述或加入的特殊安全防偽特徵
