Phase 3 of the Irish Coins is "Euro". Perhaps they are Irish "coins" but not of course Irish "currency". And although designed by an Irish person, they are not held in the same affection. Really all I do is look thru my change when I get home from days in Dublin. I have most one and two cents coins. And I am working my way upwards.
my one & only Irish coin, I actually quite like the designs but too many other sets in the works already!
