[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 28369, member: 39"]Well, I am not a paper money collector but just use euro notes every day :-) And of course one could consider euro notes "made in Ireland" to be the continuation of the punt notes. On the other hand, the purpose of the new cash is to be used by people anywhere in "Euroland", and the European Central Bank controls how many (new) notes are issued etc. Between Jan-1999 and Dec-2001, ie. in the three years when the euro existed as a cashless currency only, every national central bank (NCB) was responsible for the production of all denominations. When the euro cash became legal tender in Jan-2002, that system was replaced by a decentralized pooling scheme, where new notes are not made everywhere any more. If you go here [url]http://www.ecb.int/bc/faqbc/figures/html/index.en.html#banknotes[/url] and look at the "NCBs commissioning production" column, you'll notice that Ireland (IE) has in the past couple of years been responsible for the production of the €10 notes. As for the ECB president, well, due to the production volume the overwhelming majority of euro notes circulating here have Duisenberg's signature :-) Here is more information about Trichet's signature; also note how the "2002" remains unchanged: [url]http://www.ecb.int/bc/banknotes/looks/html/trichetsignature.en.html[/url] Christian[/QUOTE]
