Sweden (and a select few countries) differs by its use of the Kronor (or crown) as a monetary unit.

 

From Wikipedia "The crown is a monetary unit (currency) used in the countries of Czech Republic, Denmark (including the territory of Faroe Islands), Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It was formerly also used by Slovakia and Estonia until 2009 and 2011, respectively."

A: Sweden, along with 21 other nations, has never been invaded by Great Britain, therefore keeping their currencies free of the Queen.

The complete list is as follows: Andorra, Belarus, Bolivia, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Guatemala, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Mali, Marshall Islands, Monaco, Mongolia, Paraguay, Sao Tome and Principe, Sweden, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Vatican City.
