the Banknote, which was presented in september, is waterproof and contains several new details. But the Uk’s central bank has received criticism for the use of tallow, a product derived of animal fats.
– This is unacceptable for millions of vegans, vegetarians, hindus, sikhs, jainister and the other in the Uk, it says in the petition.
the Bank of England confirmed on Twitter Monday that the new banknote is made of sebum. Twitter message triggered massive reactions in social media.

A spokesperson for the bank says they recently were made aware that the bank notes contains the sebum, and that polymeret used to create the banknote comes from a company called Innovia Films, writes CNN Money.

Spokeswoman Patricia Potts at Innovia Films confirms that there are small traces of sebum in the company’s polymer, and that a supplier had used the tallow to make the material more “anti-static”. She would not go out with the name of this provider.
The new fempundseddelen is the Uk’s first bill that is not printed on paper. The new flexible plastikksedlene is designed to be cleaner, safer, and stronger.
Got removed Churchill
however, It is not the first time people have reacted on a new fempundsseddel, writes The Independent. A petition was also started when it was known that Winston Churchill would replace Elizabeth Fry on the bill, which meant that no british banknotes would have women on it (apart from the queen).
After several thousands expressed their displeasure, it was announced of the short story-the author Jane Austen would grace the tipundsseddelen from the summer of 2017.
