First Money Group Critique and development

We got into large groups of around 16 people to talk about our ideas for our money exhibition pieces. I talked about my patriotic idea and got lots of feedback.
We discussed as a group how patriotism is an interesting idea for money and how I had a good idea about using a note as a thing that millions of people see to make it so that we can make people more proud of their country however they were not so sure on the design choices.
They did not like the stereotypical imagery so much and also said it is not a good idea to show the union jack as it represents more negative historical issues. Also Scotland are wanting independence so the red white and blue is not a appropriate.
They suggest I research what people are proud of the UK by asking rather that taking old stereotypes and I agreed this would be more appropriate.
