The Queen's Portrait on Banknotes

I'm kinda obsessed in collecting banknotes. Well, I really wanna go and tour around the beautiful land of Great Britain or England or United Kingdom. This country really rocks because there's a monarch, a Queen, ruling the country. I have relatives who are working in UK and that inspires me longing to visit UK, particularly in London. Oh, and London, was such a beautiful place. Even though I haven't gone to London I can still imagine its place and the important landmarks like the Big Ben, London Bridge, Stonehenge, etc. I like the Queen. It seems she is my Old Granny who rules. And I noticed Her Majestic Portrait in banknotes as an obverse. Because of that I'm longing to collect those Banknotes with the Queen's Portrait. Queen Elizabeth II really is my inspiration (not to become a Queen someday but she really live for many years)



Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England during her Younger Years

While I studied World History, UK has been a great country. It has many lands owned as a territory. But , I think each territories has its different banknote designs with Her Majesty's Portrait, but only some. My father had Pound Sterling but he converted it to Philippine Peso (argghh!).  It would be thankful that someone will give my these banknotes for my collection. I promise not to spend it but to keep it safe. 


Queen Elizabeth II Banknotes Designs from different Territories


I have 2 Queen Elizabeth II Banknotes , 20 Canadian Dollars and 5 Australian Dollars. I also have Coin collection with the Queen's head. I asked my friends if they kept money like this. They don't have but their parents do, but it's a shame for me to ask them. I posted an advertisement "Looking for QEII banknotes" in a Group where all collectors gathered, there's one sent me a private message of inquiry. He collected Queen Elizabeth II banknotes during his young years. I asked for the price, but, it's a jaw-dropping price. I didn't continue to ask but only I said to try next time.
