A five Euro coin would be handier and last a lot longer.

Harder to wipe your bum with it though, more of a scraping action....

Wonder is it going to be plasticky (its a word.) like the Australian cash?

Are they going to be like those English plastic ones you can't rip?

I remember demonstrating the fact they can't rip to my friend and it came clean in half, with not much pressure.

Silly me

Maybe it wouldn't look as crappy if it weren't so bland and generic looking. I seem to remember the architectural features aren't based on real-life buildings anywhere in case some EU country got in a strop about it.

i love the Aussie notes; you can't ruin them by washing them, you can't tear them, they're apparently very difficult to forge. A fine idea, say I!

Random fact.

Most Irish (and German and American and probably a few other country's) banknotes have detectable amounts of cocaine on them.

The colour scheme looks disharmonious and ugly as fook.

If you're well practiced with the three seashells, it won't be a problem.

And as such, surely, detectable amounts of nostril hair and snot?

I want a €1 note. I liked the old £1 notes, made me feel rich

They should bring in a 99c coin and a 4.99 or 9.99 eur note instead.
My wallet is full of 1c coins I can't use anywhere! What a waste!!

I think they're gonna be more like the Northern Ireland fivers.

Bomb proof.

Should just go cashless, swipe your card or phone to pay for stuff and that's it. No carrying cash, rooting for change, waiting for some auld one to count out every penny in her purse to pay for something, no security for cash premises, etc.

How would the black market work?

Cashless is a very scary prospect. I'll keep my dirty fivers thank you very much

Why is it scary? 90% of my transactions are cashless, the only reason it's not 100% is that some places still don't take cards as payment. Never had a single issue and don't have to worry about finding an ATM.

RIP Old 5 euro note, we had some good times together.

Pubs and clubs would be a nightmare then.

I agree. Plus how would you buy stuff private? Would everyone have to have a card swiper?

Not everyone uses a mobile phone and only a very small percentage have phones with near field communications enabled in it. Would be a HUGE endeavour to go cashless and would never ever happen is my guess.
