Another one
Easier
A country issued a coin with an anachronistic map of its nearest neighbor.
it made so much noise that 100 000 000 coins have been immediately withdrawn

The map found on the Italian 1000 Lire coin minted in 1997 was stylized. However, Denmark was shown as part of Germany, The Netherlands was included in Belgium, and the eastern part of Germany was nowhere to be found. Italy quickly introduced a corrected version of the map and produced a million new coins.
And Luxembourg was not existing in the first map !
In fact they didn't take out of circulation this coin - it's a legend

Basta che guardi le tirature, 100 milioni dell'una (Germania unita) e 80 dell'altra... però quella con la Germania divisa paradossalmente è ancor più comune, perchè, mentre l'altro tipo è andato in circolazione e vi è rimasto (ed è quindi anche stato ritirato alla fine del 2001), quella "sbagliata" è stata immediatamente tesaurizzata (a causa delle storiella -fasulla- che raccontava che queste monete fossero state ritirate dalla circolazione e quindi rarissime) dai collezionisti, col risultato che gli 80 milioni di monete sono ancora quasi tutte nel mercato del collezionismo.
Just look at the mintages, 100 million of one (united Germany) and 80 other ... however, that with a divided Germany is paradoxically even more common, because, while the other coin went into circulation and stayed there (and is therefore also been retired at the end of 2001), that "wrong" was immediately hoarded (in due to the fake-story-telling that these coins had been withdrawn from circulation and therefore rare) by collectors, with the result that the 80 million coins are still almost all in the collectables market.
