Punt Nua To Replace Euro?

December 2, 2011 by Michele Neylon 2 Comments

 

There’s been quite a lot of talk in recent weeks about how the Euro might collapse and whether or not Ireland would be better outside the Euro, back with its own currency or maybe even using Sterling.

One of the things I miss about not having our own currency is the design of the notes and coins. Ireland’s Euro coins aren’t exactly distinctive, unlike a lot of the other countries who were able to maintain a very strong identity.. all we got was a harp!

So this “punt nua” idea is almost appealing, though I’m not sure I’d want to see Bertie Ahern that often:

    I don’t think we /would/ see Bertie that often. £1 is kids money these days…
