It’s not two bad.

Just because its shape vaguely resembles a 2, that doesn't mean that the country is called "2". It's actually called 3.
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.
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.
Why do euros, mexican pesos and peruvian soles have the same design? Grey/silver outer ring with a gold center
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.

(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.
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.
Fits Plato's description of Atlantis pretty well tbh. be better if it was more south
Better than living in Br*tain
Or Spa*n.
Why can’t we use the letter * here?
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.
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.
Well you know in 2 we have a nice weather... we intercept all the Gulf of America Stream
I had a chance to visit once, but decided against it, the weather there sucks. I ended up going to denmark in February instead

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.
