Change map definition of French Somaliland

Hello!

I am a relatively new member, and I really enjoy this website! It is a great way to organize and identify my coin collection.

Maybe I need an education on Eastern African States, but it is my understanding that French Somaliland eventually became the modern nation of Djibouti. The way Numista's map is set up at the moment, French Somaliland is lumped up in Somalia, which used to be British Somaliland before gaining their independence. I propose that the Numista map be changed to reflect the different histories of French and British Somalilands.

Thank you!

Hello,

I thought that French Afars & Issas is the present Djibouti....

Same place, different time.

Hi rhino, welcome to Numista. I'm glad you're enjoying the site.

On the dashboard map, the map can only be changed based on modern day borders. Therefore, we can make the change for you by moving French Somaliland to Djibouti.

Thanks for your request, and please send me a PM if you have any other questions.

..... then of course there is Italian Somaliland. It would have been much simpler to let the British run things.

Thanks for your response! I'll look forward to seeing the Djibouti space (small though it is) get filled in on my dashboard map.
