All Australian coins in circulation have her effigy. I have thousands of decimal and hundreds of predecimals, all with her face. I like Raphael Maklouf's design the most. It was used from 1985--1998 on Aussie coins.

Not sure if I do have any. Who is she? Is she from a nearby country? She is queen of some island (a big island) north of Europe.  |

Canada & quite a few foreign countries - but my darkside pile is hiding in a place not accessible to me at present so I cannot make a list. I know I have s few U.K., Oz, Bahamas, Bermuda, and New Zealand for sure. And... I lived close enough to Canada I do not consider it "foreign" - so I mention them separately  How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Safe bet that the U.K. and dependent countries and Australia will celebrate the Diamond Jamboree on their coinage.
What are the possibilities that other countries that currently have an image of H.M. the Q. on their coinage, will do as well?
(Don't worry about the 'Jamboree', that is a quote from a book by Sellars & Yeatman: "1066 and All That" - a fractured account of British history).

Being Canadian and half British, I don't know of I do have any. Can you remind me what countries have her face on it? j/k The Queen is my Great-aunt, of course I'll have coins of her (j/k again).

If she can make five more years she will become the longest reigning monarch in British history beating Victoria. This year she ties George III for second longest.

Maybe if their economy is OK they could buy us again and get us out of this mess we are now in. Wonder how she would do in our next election?  |

"Unfortunately, when I opened it, it was a one-sentence letter which simply said: 'Dear chief secretary, I'm afraid to tell you there's no money left,' which was honest but slightly less helpful advice than I had been expecting." http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/...te-successorKen |

I agree with Glenzy1 - the 1953 effigy is the best on a coin.
Various portraits on notes are mostly unfair.
To see her on TV, she is usually a cheerful lady, with a great smile - but the "official" portraits do not capture this.
