Queen Elizabeth II holds the record for appearing on banknotes from more countries than any other person in history.

The image of Queen Elizabeth II appears on at least 33 different currencies. Queen Victoria appeared on 21 currencies and King George V appeared on 19.

The first time she appeared on Canadian currency was before she became Queen as the 8-year-old Princess Elizabeth.

British coins have featured monarchs for more than 1,000 years, but Elizabeth became the first British royal to have a photo featured on paper bills.

As colonies separated from the British monarchy, they removed the royal image from their currency.
