  • Constant viking raids throughout most of history
  • Nowadays we get a lot of shipwrecked yachts and other pleasure vessels
  • Very low taxes in the northernmost province, very high taxes in the bit next to portugal.
  • Similarly to ireland we have very low taxes for corporations. Ireland tends to attract more business this way because billionaires face persistant looting when they settle down in 2. It’s just in our culture.

    I used to live on the 2’s Sharpie Cove, right as the two seas would smash together into one. The storms were immense, but it was the only point on the entire damn island free of seagulls

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

  • Agent641@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yeah but it’s pronounced “Two”

    • xav@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

  Better than living in Br*tain

    Or Spa*n.

    Why can’t we use the letter * here?

    • toynbee@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You’re right! They misspelled Brtan!

    You can say Brutain on the internet.

  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.

  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.

  Why do euros, mexican pesos and peruvian soles have the same design? Grey/silver outer ring with a gold center

  source

  • hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Bi-metallic design is mainly used to make the coins harder to counterfeit. Mainly, 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.

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

    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.

  Forget about 2, have you tried hiking the “EURO” mountain range? It goes up into space!

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

    Oh, they added a “modesty Norway” to cover up that filthy border.

  Aw, they redraw it to include non-EU countries. :(

  The old one had Sweden and Finland dangling in at the top right like a cock and balls.
