It didn't happen until 1960 so I assume it was Elizabeth II. http://www.nataliebone.co.uk/younginvestor/yi2/bankofengland.html Oct 12 03, 5:47 PM

Valf	Amazing isn't it!!! I bet if you asked anyone they would put a much earlier date on it. Oct 12 03, 5:49 PM

1 British Monarchs I love the U.K. monarchy, so I thought I'd create this quiz based on its history. Some of it is about British monarchs and some of it is about English monarchs. Enjoy!
