A number of former British colonies are part of an association known as the commonwealth. It’s not a military or diplomatic alliance like NATO but they do collaborate on things.
One of the ideas is that the Queen is still the head of state for commonwealth nations even if she has no political power. That’s why she’s on the money.
Even though the USA is a former colony it’s not part of the commonwealth. Neither is Ireland and a few other former colonies.
