“That we don’t have polar bears in Sweden. OK, it’s not really a widespread belief but it has a funny story behind it: After many Swedes migrated to the US, it became popular here to send cards with manipulated pictures of Stockholm that made it look like there were polar bears walking the streets. Apparently enough people fell for it that there are still people today who think we have polar bears!”
That´s false ("All Latin America currencies are waste paper").
