The Queen's Life Told Through Banknotes & Coins

The Queen's Life Told Through Banknotes & Coins.
PLEASE NOTE: The banknotes are shown in order of the Queen's age on the portrait used, NOT the banknote's year of release or issue.
'A Great British Adventure' is a series of videos that have taken me all over the UK. The videos are based on the new A-Z 10p coins - they aren't videos about the coins, rather, they use them as a sort of contents page. They will be uploaded every 3 days for the next 3 months or so, although there will be some miscellaneous videos in between.

Yesterday I was chosen to be KZfaq’s ‘Creator on the Rise’ on the UK Trending page. I want to say thanks - I really appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement, and it’s amazing to have some kind of formal recognition from the people at KZfaq itself. Thank you everyone, it means the world! P.S. 'I' for Ice Cream was the second letter skipped.

To add complication here; just saying "Queen Elizabeth" could either mean the current Queen's mother, as she was also called Elizabeth, her full name being Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Or it could refer to Queen Elizabeth the first, who was Queen in the 1500's. That's why the current Queen is Queen Elizabeth the second.

My only complaint was that you forgot to bring up the portrait used for Jersey's £100 note which was issued in 2012 for her Diamond Jubilee. It uses a holographic portrait of the Queen, taken in 2004, called Equanimity. It's a truly remarkable looking banknote for collectors. May our remarkable Queen Elizabeth forever rest in peace.

Yeah, if you look at your dollar coins, you'll see they only go back to the '80s. Australia had paper money back then, too. Smaller coins go back to 1966, because before then, Australia used pounds, shillings, ounces and other weird US units for money.
