    Could someone please tell me if the coins below are worth anything or where I might find out. Found quite a large quantity of them.

    The Central Bank on Dame Street will probably give you a Euro exchange rate for them. http://www.centralbank.ie/paycurr/notescoin/exchange/Pages/irishcoin.aspx

    No probably about it, they'll convert them. And that's about all they're worth unless you try sell them one by one on eBay where you *might* get about 50c a coin, in a few months as they get bought.

    Unless you've a 40ft shipping container full of them you won't be retiring off this score.

    How about a 50p coin from the 1960s?

    So are you saying €1 for the 4 coins?

    You'd be on to a winner there alright, considering they only started making them in 1970

    There was a ten shilling coin minted in 1966 but they were commemorative pieces and not for circulation. Theyre worth something but not a fortune.

    Check your 20p coins for a 1985 and your 10p coins for a 1992. They are woth money because in these years only a few were made and released for calibration of vending machines and phone boxes.. they were ment to be returned to get melted but not all did.. the coins were officaly released the following year for each coin..

    I had a look there and came across 8x 20c from 1986 and 8x 10c from 1993. A year off on each :p Apparently a 20c coin can make €10,000 at auction. Sick!
