Did you know Northern Ireland is a separate island to Ireland on our European coins? (10 cent coin in this case)…It may as well be in the near future if the anti-Brexit crowd are correct).

slooooooooow news day
There’s also a giant star shaped island up there off the coast of Ulster. Atlantis? I love the fantasy world the EU conjures up.
And Portugal, off the coast of the spanish “island”
So is Belgium. And Spain. And Portugal. And Rockall is HUGE and shaped like a big F-off star. And Switzerland has been annihilated. Or, alternatively, mebbe the various EU states are represented figuratively as separate but part of a whole. Or a hole, if you’re a Brexiteer.
Ah, yiz got in in front of me Eoin and Thomas P.
I sure the residents of Uist, Barra and the rest of the southern Hebrides will be surprised that they’ve been annexed by Leòdhas and na Hearadh, not to mention the inner Hebrides, Shetland, Orkney, Rathlin, Toraigh and na hOileáin Árainn having joined Switzerland in oblivion. Troid!
Looks like they’ve confused Cyprus with Crete again too.

Pity we can cut it off and set it free in reality
You sound nice.
and you with it Ultach.
The real question is will they have to mint new coins if the UK votes to leave?
They can just tip-ex it out.
strange that they were ever on the coin in the first place considering they are not part of the Euro!
Time for a united Ireland
Sixteen minutes past seven in the evening.
we really have grown as a country .. i mean physically. we’re bigger than portugal now.
500 million years ago, this piece of Earth we know as Ireland was at the latitude of South Africa; it kept drifting northwards and it took 200 million years to reach the Equator. 150 million years ago it was at the latitude of the Canary Islands and subsequently drifted to reach its present temperate position.
And Portugal is an island of Spain. Thanks Einstein. Slow news day BS?
Just showing state boundaries.. Nothing to see here
The arrow is covering the balls and knob that make up Scandinavia. Have a look at a coin if you’ve never noticed
A close up of the meat and two veg that is Sweden and Finland on the €1 coin.
I love how bent out of shape people get on here over nothing, funny and sad at the same time.
I did think it odd to break Europe into islands on the coins when the United Europe is the goal.
Nice backtrack.
If you had posted it with ‘isn’t it odd that they are all islands’ then maybe you’d have a point about the overall idea behind the design, but you didn’t did you?
It was Brexit related…I mentioned it in the post.
I don’t care about the rest.
How embarrassing for you.
What’s the problem? So they’ve not drawn the Isle of Man to scale
It stuns me that disasta can look at this coin and wonder whats going on and not notice the overall motif.
The ultimate irony is that he’s probably one of the ‘we don’t get the full story from the mainstream media, we need to be allowed to think critically with the help of teh interwebz’ crowd
bet yer wishing ireland was joined up with the “mainland”
Only a fool would rely on mainstream media for the ‘full story’.
Yes I did. They’re all islands.
UK isn’t in the ‘Euro’ anyway so makes no difference whether they stay or leave.
If only it was an island…………..
Europe`s view of Ireland.
