As if having a Knight of the Realm in your band weren’t honor enough, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are among the celebrities under consideration to appear on a new 10 pound note from the Bank of England.

The list of 150 candidates..also includes Winston Churchill, David Beckham, Princess Diana and William Shakespeare. The celebrities are being considered to appear on the new Series F banknote, which is slated to replace the current Series E token that features Charles Darwin.

There’s currently no word on when the Bank of England will make its decision, but I'm thinking Stones guitarist Keith Richards is not thrilled with Mick possibly appearing on any official British currency. The guitarist was livid when Mick Jagger accepted a knighthood in 2003, feeling it compromised the group’s counterculture credibility.

“I don’t want to step out onstage with someone wearing a coronet and sporting the old ermine,” Richards told Uncut “I told Mick it’s a paltry honor. It’s not what the Stones is about, is it?” So he may not laughing all the way to the bank...with his Mick Jagger 10 pound notes ;)
