My guess is 7 but I can't name them

 

 

[Admiral Mike-migration]

I am going to assume ( I know... shouldn't assume) you mean how many countries are currently producing notes with H.R.M. 's portrait on them. As there are currently 16 Commonwealth Realms, and I believe all of them will produce at least one note with the Queen's image, I will say 16.

 

Respectfully,

quick guess of 4.

[Coinguy19]

33

[DC Dawg]

There are 15 nations in the Commwealth Realm plus the Cook Islands, whose constitution states that the head of state of New Zealand is the head of state for the Cook Islands.

 

So I will guess 16!
