There had been some speculation that this would happen as part of a settlement with photographer Antoine Ferrier who captured the image of Sir Lynden, but was never compensated. <\/P><\/p>\n
Concern began to arise recently when new notes bearing the Queen’s image entered circulation. <\/P><\/p>\n
Governor Francis explained, however, that the Central Bank retains an inventory of both notes adding that occasionally both varieties may circulate simultaneously.<\/P><\/p>\n
“I think there is apparently some concern in the public about the Queen’s image replacing Sir Lynden’s, but the bank is absolutely committed and it’s a matter that’s been determined by the Cabinet that it’s the image of Sir Lynden which will adorn the one-dollar bill,” Mr. Francis said.<\/P><\/p>\n
He added, “As I indicated previously we have many millions of the notes, which bear Sir Lynden’s image would be widely unpopular.<\/P><\/p>\n
“It would not be wise to take Sir Lynden’s image off the one-dollar note because he is the Father of the Nation and a lot of people would be unhappy if his image was removed,” said Mr. Ferrier.<\/P><\/p>\n
