What images should be printed on new Irish Punt banknotes?

Killer Pigeon · 2011-12-09 04:54:28

So say the €uro were to collapse, what images (buildings, landscapes, personalities) would you like to be printed on the new IR£ banknotes? I found the last IR£ banknotes to be pretty boring, they need to be livened up a bit. £5: £10: £20: £50: £100: £200: £500:

There is? All I see is a thread about the Central Bank "not printing punts". I created this thread for people to suggest what the new notes should look like.

I liked the old notes.If they are printing new Irish currency they better keep the old 50p coin i loved that.Also i hope they get rid of 1 and 2p coins they should round it to 5s and 10's.

yeah and that one ended well didnt it, started off all-right, but ended up turning into a debate about the economy, ffs :rolleyes:

Edit.
..but to borrow an idea from that thread, portraits and quotes, i reckon we could do a Father Ted series,

£5: Mrs. Doyle

£10: Ted

£20: Dougal

£50: Jack

£100: Len Brennan

£200: ???

£500: Fintan Stack

not to sure about what quotes would go with each, other than 'Ive had my fun, and thats all that matters'

With hyperinflation, the €500 will be the smallest note.

You'll be paying €20,000 for a pint.

Speaking of pints, how about a dirty pint of Guinness on it. Each note can be the equivalent of a pint. Imagine how fast it would speed up the queue in the pub with no change give out.

Something that reflects our history of folklore, writing great literature and hopefully a Republican who fought for our freedom which too many Irish people are quick too shun but I know they never would.

Something like:

Brian Boru
Arthur Guinness
James Joyce
Padraig Pearse
Catherine McAuley

Just a thought :cool:
