It’s project lead Jeni Lennox said: “The challenge was to gather the voice of a nation and turn it into something visual, to find and organise familiar images and arrange them in ways that would remain fresh despite being seen every day for decades. The design collaboration was led and managed by the Edinburgh service design agency Nile. “We were determined to design a set of notes that the Scottish public will relate to every time they open their wallets.”
RBS Personal and Business Banking’s Creative Director Rebekka Bush said: “Our new banknotes feature the people, objects and wildlife that people in Scotland told us they wanted to see on their money. They chose the concept as well as suggesting hundreds of design details to be included in the finished notes. The members of the public who took part were not simply asked to vote for individual visual elements for the notes. Participants were selected from all across Scotland and included schoolchildren and pensioners.

More than a thousand took part in a series of design workshops, surveys and online communities. The Scottish public played a direct and leading role in the design process. The resulting creative team interpreted the contributions and outcomes of the consultation process to create a coherent set of notes. Some of Scotland’s most respected design companies – Graven, O Street, Timorous Beasties, and Stuco – took on roles in Creative Direction, Art Direction, Illustration and Note Design.
The design collaboration for The People’s Money was led and managed by the Edinburgh service design agency Nile, headed up by Project Lead, Jeni Lennox. The new Royal Bank of Scotland polymer banknote, The People’s Money “Fabric of Nature”, is the culmination of an unprecedented national design collaboration.ĭesigning new banknotes for Scotland was one of the biggest public design projects of its kind ever undertaken, involving members of the public from across Scotland, leading designers, as well as a team of experts from fields including botany, poetry, marine science, numismatics and weaving, among many others.
