On the morning of September 8, Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully, ending her 70-year-long reign. 54 countries in the world that were formerly under British rule, together form the Commonwealth. Canada, being one of them, commemorates the monarch by having her face minted on their currency. With her recent passing, a new set of coins will probably be in circulation. Coming from a place of humor, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds and comedian Patton Oswalt have a prospective face for the Canadian currency.
