QUIZ: How well do you know your British banknotes? Test your knowledge with these 10 difficult questions

The new polymer £20 banknote has now been released.

But how well do we really know our money?

While the latest design was first unveiled last October, the updated £20 entered circulation on Thursday February 20.

Featuring a portrait of the Queen, it also pays tribute to English Romantic painter JMW Turner.

He became the face of the new banknote after being selected by Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, with 29,701 nominations from the general public.

Mr Carney described Turner as "perhaps the single most influential British artist of all time."

But do you know who else has been printed on British banknotes?

And do you know which year they appeared?

Thanks to Ocean Finance, you can now test your knowledge on the 70 billion pounds' worth of notes that circulate across Britain - and put your money where your mouth is in the quiz below.

There are 10 questions in total - good luck!

Let us know how you did in the comments below.
