Personally I think the old harp consistently serves its purpose a lot better. I'm not a fan, what do you guys think? Most of all, I think its a particularly poor comemoration of the easter rising.

Hardly a new currency or design. It's just the commemorative for 1916. The harp will be back.

Hibs FC were founded in 2016? Who knew. I don't see the point in having coins for a Scottish football team.

Now if the coins said Ireland...
