geordie582 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I note when dowloading my coins, that, although there is a country name for Scotland and Ireland, there is no country England. As I collect hammered English pennies, I find I have to class them as belonging to 'The United Kingdom'. This is misleading as the coins are English and the United Kingdom did not exist in the period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland has its own listing.....as does Jersey. Now THAT is a bit ironic. Great, but a bit ironic none the less. I was going to raise this issue myself but on checking this forum I see you beat me to it, so i'll add my voice to yours and maybe we can raise a whisper to the earlobes of those concerned.

Scottishmoney Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yes indeed, there should be an England, so the Scots can rule it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aidan Work Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 The Scots did rule England,but it was from 1603,when King James VI of Scotland succeeded to the throne as King James I of England. Aidan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie582 Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Look at the government. The Scots still rule the English! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Look at the government. The Scots still rule the English! Well....there's no arguing with that observation. We could debate the finer points of Tony vs. Prescott vs. Brown et al till the cows come home and to little advantage. But what we all agree on is that we would like to see England gaining recognition as a country in its own right and added to the omnicoin list.
