    It’s nice and quiet, with little pollution.

    In 1952 we passed a constitutional amendment banning traffic from our air space, resulting in all transatlantic flights crossing the northern routes you fly today.

    I prefer the pre 2007 design where Sweden and Finland can’t be unseen.

    It’s a big country, lots of cultural differences. Unfortunately the education system is pretty bad here.

    The only country name we’ve learnt to spell is Portugal. We’re pretty bad at all the others.

        You’re right! They misspelled Br*ta*n!

        edit: Should have considered that we’re rendering markdown before I used asterisks so wantonly.

          I th*nk something broke for you. Usually it only messes with a single letter for us.

            In the spirit of heeding your username, I shall engage.

            In markdown, if you use a single asterisk it doesn’t mean much unless it’s part of a list. However, if you use two, it will italicize the text between them. Britain, for example, would bring Brtan because the T and A (yes, I’m aware of the abbreviation) would be between them.

            edit: Seven days later, I saw this post again. I realize now you weren’t talking about the formatting but how many instances of the offending character to replace, like non global stream editing or sort of like ƒ.

    Just because its shape vaguely resembles a 2, that doesn’t mean that the country is called “2”. It’s actually called 3.

        It depends. The south accent makes it sound like “five”.

      If I had to guess, probably all come from some sort of template coin made by a single supplier or made by the same machine that has template designs.

      Bi-metallic design is mainly used to make the coins harder to counterfeit, to make it more expensive to counterfeit than the coin’s value

        To elaborate, it’s really easy to forge “regular” coins and really attractive to forge high value coins.

        For example, the 1 British Pound coin was, before the redesign, widely forged:

        As of March 2014 there were an estimated 1,553 million of the original nickel-brass coins in circulation,[6] of which the Royal Mint estimated in 2014 that just over 3% were counterfeit.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_pound_coin

        (Note for any languages that use the comma as a decimal separator: 1,553 million is referring to 1.5 billion)

          Those buggers wouldn’t unlock supermarket trolleys, so you’d have to get rid of them at a McDonald’s, where the staff don’t look too close at the coinage.
