They all appear on coins or banknotes. Some are still being used today. Others are in museum collections around the world. Portraits on coins and banknotes help us to understand the history of people, countries and empires.

Most faces are of kings, queens and heads of state, but there are also faces of artists, musicians, explorers, inventors, scientists, religious leaders and even the modern-day fictional wizard Harry Potter!

The Isle of Man Government decided to make a limited edition of Harry Potter coins. Harry's face is on the back of the coins and Queen

Elizabeth II's face is on the front. The five-pence coins cost £39.95 but have a street value of five pence.

In 2004, in Belgium, they made 50 000 special ten-euro coins to commemorate the Belgian writer, Hergé's, most famous characters. Tintin and his dog Snowy appear on one side of the coin and a map of Europe appears on the other side. Collectors paid 31 euros for each coin.

Until 1991 in New Zealand, the portraits on coins and banknotes were either heads of state or dead people. Sir Edmund Hillary broke this rule. His face appeared on five-dollar banknotes. Hillary was famous for being the first person to climb Mount Everest in 1953. He died in 2008.
