I can have a person on me
Or I could have a flower
When they get to one hundred they use paper

You’re talking about
PENNY and PENNI.
These homophones deal with money
A Penny is one cent, equal to one hundredth of a dollar. A Penni is a Finnish currency unit, equal to one hundredth of a markka.

Could be Queen Elizabeth II, at least for the old Canadian pennies.
Or I could have a flower
A Finnish penni can have a flower on it.
When they get to one hundred they use paper
One hundred pennies is a paper US dollar. One hundred pennis is a paper Finnish markka.

Could they be scent and cent? Maybe also bill and Bill or Ben and Ben? (I'm not sure how many to find.)
I can have a person on me
A cent or a bill can have a person on you, a Ben (Franklin) is a US one hundred.
Or I could have a flower
Flowers have scents
They both come from one hundred
Cent is French for one hundred, and a Ben is a US one hundred.
I suppose it's
penny and peony
which are
a coin(which can have people on it, and when you have 100 pennies it is equivalent to a dollar bill) and a flower respectively
These homophones deal with money
saint and cent
(saint helenian pounds(shp) is a currency)
I can have a person on me or I could have a flower
the cents have person or flower engraved on them
(for example canadian cent has flower on one side and person on other side)
When they get to one hundred they use paper
100 cent = 1 dollar paper note
