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.
