    Shut up Funboy,

    I'm guessing QEII as well.

      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...

            Don't they have (or used to have) chairman Mao on the money in China?

                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.

                              the most portraited in movies and so on is Hitler, but since you count individual coins it'll have to be Liz II, George Wash and the Great Chairman...

                                For T-shirt and the like, it's probably either Einstein or Che Guevara.
