How would you react if your entire country or parts of it were shown on a map representing another country?

Good question you would think most would not be happy. The nations that are included should refuse to accept Israeli currency until they change it to show Israel as it should be.
The two blue stripes representing the Nile and Euphrates rivers. Therefore, perpetuating the goal of Eretz Yisrael encompassing all land between the two rivers.

The coin is most offensive and suggestive.
Imagine if a Mexican Bank made a coin with an image of their country which included the Southwest United States, jeez. No one would take it seriously though. Now if America flipped the script, Mexican nationalists would get worried, so I see your point clearly.
If Iran made one suggesting Israel as part of their national border, watch out. All in all this is just rude and provocative, nothing new though, sadly.

The logo of the Bank of Israel contains the map of Eretz Israel... which is a land mass much larger than Israel as we know it today.
We can see it includes Lebanon, Jordan, parts of Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
No we can't, that's ridiculous. It's just an abstract blob. You could superimpose it over any map of any country and make all kinds of outlandish claims about it.
The logo and coin seem to cut further into Saudi Arabia than what is shown on this map.

No it doesn't. This ludicrous theory was proposed by some idiotic Palestinian 13 years ago, and debunked in the same year.
The design itself has been on Israeli currency since 1984, so why didn't anyone make a fuss about it earlier?

Oh wait, I've just realised it's a map of Israel and Australia, with Israel's borders clearly overlapping Queensland! How shocking!!!
The coin image looks suspiciously like a representation of a "Greater Israel" to me.
Here is my attempt at overlaying the outline on a map to show what they are laying dibs on here.
