Design on New Irish Punt notes

creeper1

So it looks like the Euro may be going down the tubes and we may be forced into issuing the good old Punt.

It wouldn't be much fun to just reissue the same old notes with the same old faces.

We should vamp it up and add the faces of those responsible for bringing the new currency into existence. And one of the wonderful quotes of those great people.

The 5 punt note could have a picture of the smiling Bertie Ahern. Quote beside him " I don't know why people negative on the economy don't go commit suicide"

The 10 punt note could have a picture of that wonderful human being Roddy Molloy. The quote beside him " I am entitled to fly first class. My wife traveled at no additional cost to the state."

The 20 punt note could have Cowen with his favourite phrase " I don't accept that."

What? Notes should have images of people we're proud of, and landmarks that are recognisable. Why would you want to have people who ****ed up the country on our currency? It seems a bit... oh... oooooooooooh! I see what you're doing now, I see what you're doing! It's a joke right? I get jokes.

Funny stuff OP, funny stuff.

Given average public sector pay is still an amazing 48,000 per year, despite the cuts, according to www.cso.ie .....there should be a picture of a public servant on it in honour of all the work the average public servant does in keeping money in the economy.

All notes should feature a map of Ireland (well, the 26 counties...) with the following features, amongst others, highlighted:

1. The several ports we rent to the US,

2. The Irish Nationalised Gas Line,

3. The National Torture Centre for those Politicos found guilty of corruption,

4. The National Centres for Fish Processing,

5. The National Monument celebrating our future in the EU.

We should create thousands of different designs for each note including loads of rare ones and one off designs. At least that way they might have some value as collectors items after our new/old currency drops in value

Interesting. The punt would then hold the same value as pokemon cards. :cool:

Why print anything new? Let everyone else go back to their own currencies and we can stick to useing the Euro as our own.Free money.

Nobody said anything about leaving the euro. If the euro fails and collapses it will be leaving us.

Didn't some guy already do this last week? It was in lots of papers. He drew the notes and they had faces like Ahern, McCreevy, Cowen, Drumm and Fitzpatrick? Or are you that artist and just looking to talk about it some more?

I really think it's time people stopped thinking that the Euro is going to collapse.
It's a shame that even after the News Of The World scandal, Rupert Murdoch and his anti-Euro stance still influences people in this country.

I actually find it funny that people who are so anti-Europe are so willing to listen to the propaganda created by an Australian who claims Israeli citizenship and operates mostly in the U.S.

Rupert Murdoch.
Seriously. Look it up.
He's an Australian Jew whose majority interests lie in the U.S. markets.
The Euro is a threat to his media empire, so he is trying his best to destroy it.

Sky News won't tell you that because he still has a large share in BskyB.

nice_very

people who are saying that the euro wont collapse are right....... because this country and our ball-less govt prefer to pay back the banks of germany and france for their failed gambling on our economy... I have said now, many times, we can use the threat of bringing down the euro/EC if they dont cut us a much much better deal..

(on topic) Irish ancient monuments and historical figures that led us to our independence should feature on the notes and coins

Some designer came up with some: http://www.independent.ie/national-news/irish-designer-comes-up-with-a-cheeky-take-on-images-for-punt-nua-if-euro-collapses-2952523.html

IF the punt was re created whose face would you put on the fiver, tenner etc??

On another thread it was suggested Brian Cowan on the penny, because he made us penniless!!

I think Mary mcAleese on the fifty!!

manlad

what everyone else said in the other thread

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

I'd make sure Wolfe Tone was on there somewhere.

Father Jack Hackett = 100
Father Ted Crilly = 50
Father Dougal Maguire = 20

Bertie Ahern with a big smug ****eating grin on every note so we never forget who ****ed us six ways from sunday.

Wait a minute.

If you know there was another thread, why did you start this one?

Are coins "punched" as in the metal-work process?

If so then Bertie's face should be on the coins. The snivelling gobshyte can't have his ugly mug punched enough!
