Then it has to be Queen Elizabeth II. 50 years of being on pound notes, stamps and coins around the world puts her over the top.

More QEII portraits out there than Washington Greenbacks? I guess with all the commonwealth that is probably true, but there sure are a lot of Washingtons out there.

Considering the breadth of the Commonwealth, I have to give the edge to Liz, but George is a possible contender. He certainly has the advantage of having a legacy that has been around longer.

Nah...Not enough coins to compete with today's magnitude. I think Boris is right. It would come down to George and Liz, with Liz getting the probable nod.

For non-currency portraits, I have to go with Jesus as well.

It sounds like it's probably Queen Elizabeth II to me too. The notes, coins (she's on all of them in the UK, and from the sounds of it in Canada too) and stamps from several major countries and lots of small ones over 50 years really adds up.

It's politically incorrect to use the word "person."

The word "person" excludes plants, animals, and aliens.

you could count stamps and such, but they are probably many less if comapred to money.
I cant think of anything with more copies of portraits than money.
Im almost certain that its QE2. If you look more than 150 years ago, the amount of money in circulation was way lower. So the time advantage of Washington doesnt help that much.
QE2 is in many countries, and as has been mentionned, sometimes on every single denomination.
It wouldnt be hard to get an approximate check though, I guess its possible to find on the net number of American bills in circulation and comapre to english canadian and what not just to get an idea...

Elizabeth Windsor, sans doute. She's on Australian currency, Canadian, New Zealand, P.N.G., assorted Caribbean and African, and Pacific Islander, Channel Islands and Isle of Man and British currency, she gets her piccies in Commonwealth guides and histories, she has her official portraits hanging in embassies, consulates and British Council offices, she's on stamps, plates, jubilee mugs, badges, record covers, tea towels, coasters, Sex Pistols' single covers, probably boxer shorts, she's everywhere. There are probably air molecules with her likeness embossed on them. She will survive us all, along with cockroaches, lawyers and shock jocks, and little creatures that live around fumaroles.

Both banknotes and coins. QEII are in many more countries, but China probably has more population than all of them combined.
