When the Queen dies, the next reigning monarch will have their portrait on coins and stamps. In the case of Great Britain, that will likely be Prince Charles, once he becomes King.

Why is queen elizabeth on canadian coins?
It is not a rule that 'Queens must have their heads on coins'. It is true that Sovereigns (Kings, Queens, etc) are often depicted on coins. This has been the case since the Roman times. Queen Elizabeth II is the Sovereign of Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and 14 other 'Commonwealth realms' hence Britain and some Commonwealth Realms (like Canada) choose to put her on the coins. Before she was Queen, George VI would have been on the money.

Why do we have queens?
Whereas the Prime Minister is Head of the Government, the Queen is Head of State. Technically the PM gets on with running the country whilst the Queen represents the country/nation at engagements, state visits, investitures, etc. If we did get rid of the Queen we still need a Head of State, probably a President. Many presidents are no more than figureheads (like the Queen).
