    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:

    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.

    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'

    You could put a Bull on one side and a load of **** on the other :-) The BS notes.

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

    You'll be paying €20,000 for a pint.

    Just go back to the Series B notes - they were the nicest.

    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:

    Knowing how broke we are, is it rather pointless to have a £100 and £500?
