    Our new currency would probably be so worthless we could just use bog roll.

    The Bollox .. As anytime you go abroad its a pain in the Bollox to change currency.

    The Peat, made up of 100 sods.

    It would of course be backed up by our new central bank called bord na mona, which would keep our reserves, bales of briquettes, in our new fort knox called the bogs of Allen:D

    The Irish Eurodollar pound seeing as we've the dollar to our west, the pound to our east and we're in the EU.

    If we leave the euro we'll have to get into sterling or we might as well use monopoly money.

    "These Islands Pound"

    The Irish Dollar. Or even better, The Irish Dolla

    We should call it the Irish Deutsche Mark


    or

    'Africa's charity appeal for Ireland' Dollar (ACAI) dollar


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,900 ✭✭✭General General


    The Scholar... or the Feckel... or the Guan... or the Fart (said with a Drogheda accent)...

    We could then say: that thing's not worth two Farts!

    The Irish Spank is another one...

    Oh... & the Peig.

    Our new notes should be called Pennies, because thats all they will be worth once our new currency is not tied to anyone.
    Litre of petrol ; five hundred penny sheets , please, and a kilo weight of that new paper money if you want to fill up...

    or how about just calling the new currency "funny money"

    A great side effect is it will reduce the amount of brown envelopes ...it willl be brown boxes you have to bribe with though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    The blaas, subdivided into blips.

    How much for the tropical fruit magnum?

    Lets call it 2 blaas

    How much??

    Alright, 1 blaa 85 blips.

    We can do this

    Can we call it ~ The 'Euro Squared' were each euro squared is worth the amount of a normal euro thats been squared:

    Euro € - Euro Squared €^2
    1 = 1
    2 = 4
    3 = 9
    4 = 16
    . = .
    . = .
    . = .
    100 = 10000

    That'd mean your change loses value.

    The Swiss Franc.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭sollar

    Or the irish dollar

    Just call it "Da Currancy", keep the skobes happy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,736 ✭✭✭Irish Guitarist


    It should be an unpronounceable symbol like Prince changed his name to a few years back. We could call it 'the currency formerly known as punts'.
