[QUOTE="Aidan Work, post: 47873, member: 1824"]It was in 1979 that the parity between the English & Irish Pounds were ended.Between 1928 & 1960,the Irish banknotes contained a clause in both Erse & English 'Payable on Demand in London'. For more information you can visit here; [url]www.irishpapermoney.com[/url] .As a collector of British Commonwealth banknotes,I do include the modern post-1949 issues (technically not British Commonwealth) for convenience,& it reflects the evolution of the famous Lady Lavery series,which ended in 1976. The most difficult denomination to get as far as the post-1928 pre-decimal coins from Ireland goes,is the Farthing (1/4d.),which is an extremely difficult series to collect,due to the low mintage figures,& that a few dates very seldom turn up (1930,1932,1936, 1937,1959,& 1966).I got an example of the 1936 by chance,& found a 1930 quite recently.
