errr...Finland using the euro....and obviously the likes of Sweden/Norway/Denmark and UK are put on it with a view to them joining in the future, wouldn't look odd if those countries were left out of the map !!

Eh, the suggestion is that in the context the shape of Nor&Swe on the coins is marginally, eh, lewd.

That's the way the countries are shaped - therefore that's the way they appear on the coins. If people want to draw their own (ridiculous) lewd conclusions about it, so be it. You'd hardly expect the "powers that be" to put Norway & Sweden on the coins in a different shape, now would you?

If there's one thing you can rely on human beings to be... it's stupid.

Never mind the silliness about Scandinavia. But it appears that there's an EU scheme to divide Northern Irland from Ireland by diffing a very big canal. Portugal too.

Silly design.
