<br/>
I know of problems caused by maps on stamps: The Irish Free State <br/>
issued stamps depicting a map of the island (without the <br/>
international boundary), which wasn&#39;t liked in London at the time. <br/>
And I vaguely remember a stamp of the Dominican Republic, which <br/>
showed a map of the island of Hispaniola, but with the Haitian-<br/>
Dominican rep. boundary in a quite more westerly position than in <br/>
reality. This was equally criticised by the neighbours.<br/>

&gt; I have not mentioned earlier (of course due to my absent <br/>
mindedness) <br/>
&gt; that on Estonian five kroons you can see the Estonian-Russian <br/>
border <br/>
&gt; picture, i.e. Narva-Ivangorod. In the internet site you can see it: <br/>

&gt; In the beginning of the 1990s some russians protested against that <br/>
&gt; picture because on the right side in Russia the sky is dark but on <br/>
&gt; the left side in Estonia the sky is clear. But the money must be <br/>
&gt; pure! Has anybody an information on border pictures on other bank <br/>
&gt; notes?<br/>
