It's very easy to get so used to the currency you use that you stop paying attention to it! Looking at the pictures depicted on the notes we use every day may seem like a waste of time, but sometimes it's good to take a step back and notice.
The Bank of England have recently released their newly designed £50 banknote, featuring the famous mathematician and pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing. Turing was born in 1912 and is responsible for the development of early computers. He also used his exceptional skills to decipher German Naval messages during World War II, which shortened the war and saved lives. The notes honoring Turing have been appropriately in June, which happens to be Pride month. Turing was also an early LGBT icon who lived as a criminal for decades simply for being gay. The milestone is being lauded as a sign of greater acceptance of LGBT people at the highest level of society.
