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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 · 13 pts · 213d
Yeah but it's pronounced "Two"
xav@programming.dev · 12 pts · 213d
It depends. The south accent makes it sound like "five".

Or Spa*n.
Why can’t we use the letter * here?

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

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

You can say Brutain on the internet.

It’s nice and quiet, with little pollution.

Looks like you'd have some good point breaks. Like legendary.

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
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 213d
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

In the UK the key from a tin of corned beef will operate a trolley. Do with this information what you wish.

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!

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.
