    There's a fair amount of wishful thinking on the Brits part to put the shamrock and thistle into the currency of their new post-Brexit state.

    It's about time Ireland took back what belongs to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,577 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Ireland and UK should form an alliance if Scotland leave.


  • Posts: 26,920 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Is this why they're trying to get Scotland to stay in the UK? Because otherwise they'd just be investing money in a random plant on their coin.

    The old one / royal warrant had / has a harp on it.

    They can put whatever they want on it.

    The design was chosen through a competition held more than 2 years ago. The winner was a 15 year-old boy from Walsall.

    With common sense then this thread should fizzle out in the next few posts.


    See you all on page 50.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    No, there'll still be plenty of hen parties coming over

    Exactly, sure we've already put a big cock and balls on our €2 coins to reflect how well hung European men are (apart from Brits I guess).

    I'm outraged at this sitting here in my Man United jersey.

    It's about time Ireland took back what belongs to them.

    If you're referring to the 6 Counties, I've bad news for you: the Good Friday Agreement acknowledges that it is territory of the UK and Rep. of Ireland has no claim to it.

    And the Republican parties on either side of the border pushed for a "yes" vote.

    Actually, the agreement was NI was part the UK's soverign terrority until a point a majority both of the people of Northern Ireland and of the Republic of Ireland wished otherwise. Should that happen, then the British and Irish governments are under "a binding obligation" to implement that choice.

    So technically your wrong on your first point.

    It stopped the killing, for the most part... they would never have let us have it anyway.(Would you rather the BA continued to kill innocent civilians?)

    Kinda comical when you look at the current situation.

    Surely if they want to prevent forgeries they shouldn't​ let any old bank print their own versions of their notes?

    We're part of the British Isles.

    Given the drop since Brexit . it's time to paraphrase Spitting Image.

    "when I said phase out the pound I meant the old pound coin, not the pound sterling"
