Denmark not being part of the eurozone despite its central location is extremely funny to me. Like some monetary San Marino.
It's not really that central, every single eurozone country is south of Denmark. Denmark is only at the periphery of the eurozone.
Well, you have Finland in the north-east, Ireland in the north-west, and every land border faces a Euro-zone country. Few other countries can claim the latter.
Canada is not a Euro-zone country.
And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.
"Every land border"...There is only one...
Edit: and looking at a map, actually several countries have "every land border" to eurozone countries. Portugal, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg all fit that one, several with multiple land borders even. That's 30% of the eurozone countries.
Denmark does in fact have a very small land border with Canada - this happened quite recently and is pretty funny. So it's actually 2! 😄
That true...so it doesn't even share every land border with the eurozone! 😅
Spain has land borders with 3 non-EU countries...
Some of those probably have some tiny overseas territory for which that is not true.
overseas territories would probably be island states, so they're unlikely to have a land border to any country at all. But sure, maybe there is some. But then the Danish/Canadian border would count too, making it untrue for Denmark as well.
