    I wouldn't think they'd be worth too much, I dare say there's quite a few of those knocking about still.

    I can't see them being worth a whole lot. I'd just run in to the Central Bank with them.

    Scraping the penny jar and resorting to try cash in whatever you can? I know that feeling.

    Just wait for a gullible American tourist to come along in a month and convince them that it was the currency used in the 1916 rising and see how many dollars you can get out of them. Cha ching.

    Eitherway. £10.50

    one is the inverse of t'other 1.27 euro = 1 punt. 79 p = 1 Euro

    0.787564 is the actual rate so they're worth €19.046 (not sure if they'll round that up or down for you).

    I've never seen (that I can recall) the tenner with Swift on it. You'd almost definitely get more than face value for it.

    eg. http://www.ebay.com/itm/IRELAND-IRISH-TEN-POUND-NOTE-JONATHAN-SWIFT-18-7-1978-/361205602838

    The fivers are probably still too common to be worth much.
