Never Falter, When It Comes To Malta
When Malta adopts the euro on 1 January, the coastline of the tiny Mediterranean island will get an unexpected boost. New euro coins and notes show Malta to be much bigger than it actually is, because the island is too small for the minting machines to show it on the same scale as other euro zone countries. As a result, Malta, which is only 27km long, is shown to be as large as Corsica, which is 183 km long.
