Some people do not take it well, so you have only few minutes until it is taken down.

There were 27 of those.

Pakistan: Coalition of friends of India :P

​I thought the Palestine issuer was called "Palestine", not "British Palestine"

No, it was called British Palestine long ago already.

There are still few hopefully not so offensive jokes to be found.

Quote: "Jarcek"​There were 27 of those.

​Oh, I named them all!

No I counted Austria/Australia switch as one. So you are still missing something. I will keep removing others, since they were found already.

​Oh, the Cayman Islands

Oh, so I fooled myself and I am really bad at counting. One more is still missing, the most obscure one.

And no, it is not one of the countless subissuers.

Quote: "Jarcek"​And no, it is not one of the countless subissuers.

Hmm, which continent?

(It bugged badly)

The Vatican one is kinda too much
No one changed France to Baguette yet?
USA to BigMac?

​There is no 28th, is there?

North Macedonia ;)

No, that was renamed before.

Quote: "BramVB"​North Macedonia ;)

​That's not a joke, it's real

Yes, there is 28th, and if I can give you a hint - with your numbering, there is also 29th.

All names have been brough back, besides that last couple.

Japanese puppet states in China -> China - Japanese puppet states
?

No, no changes there.

I feel fooled

Is it the Saint Vincent? Cause the full name is Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Oh, the Chad -> Romania and Romania -> Chad

Nice!!

You should've changed Slovakia and Slovenia

Quote: "MihajloNesic"​You should've changed Slovakia and Slovenia

​Are those even different countries?

I prepared this in a little hurry.

Quote: "MihajloNesic"​You should've changed Slovakia and Slovenia

​​Are those even different countries?

​People (surprisingly) usually mix up Serbia and Siberia when I meet them. They always ask me if it is cold in Siberia.

When looking at my swap list, I still see the years all messed up, not in order though, is that also part of the joke?

Quote: "Arnhemcoin"​When looking at my swap list, I still see the years all messed up, not in order though, is that also part of the joke?

​Nope, nothing beside names was part of the joke.

Quote: "mikimaus"​

Quote: "MihajloNesic"​You should've changed Slovakia and Slovenia

​​Please don't insult Slovakia with this s&%$#hole.

​Didn't know it was an insult Respect for both

Another classic is Sweden <---> Switzerland

Amazing how people even got offended by this. That's might be the best joke of all.

China instead of Japan

​Thats great news cannot have Trumpland being first Mind you Hadrian had one in the UK and the Chinese built one a few years ago=so Donalds one is a bit of fake news
