Ireland and the Euro - Ready for Peer Review?
You can call me TC Posted Nov 28, 2001
Do you think I should present the entry to PR when the Dutch have added their bit, or should I wait, and round it off with the situation after 1 January and present the it then? (I would prefer the latter, but maybe it's long enough as it is, and the sequel can follow in due course)

Please delete the "the" - I have just been online for ages, catching up with everything after my four days at home! 80 e-mails and three MP pages of conversations to plough through.

The central bank (Ireland) are projecting saving 240 million euros on printing costs alone. I can only presume, given those prices, that previously 20 punt notes were hand painted

I believe the starter packs with Euro coins go on sale today. If not, then definitely on Monday.

There is something very peculiar about buying money, don't you think...

Incidentally I apologise for any mad typos today. We had our company Christmas/Euro party last night. Indeed such was the spirit of Euro (and more than a splash of Arthur's finest) that we decided to sing a medley of Irish classics outside each euro member state's embassy.
This proved two things:
(a) we only know one song (the Fields of Athenry)
(b) We only know where the Spanish embassy is

I got my first pack of Euro coins today. They look lovely and shiny. But I can't spend them for another two weeks.

The entry has been recommended, but I may see if I can get that bit about the cost of printing - or rather the saving of - included.
I have also heard that France has only a limited time during which you can change the old money back - something like three years - whereas in Germany this period is indefinite.

"Euro notes do not have a national identity on the reverse side"-Gnomon.
I'm sorry to say that you are mistaken. Notes made here have a T before their reg code or ID code or summat. And the letter changes for each country. I haven't a clue what the other codes are, but it was in the Sunday Times a few days/weeks/months back.
Very pleased to have met so many fellow Irish.

Pleased to meet you!
Why T? Is it for Taoiseach? Is Bertie involved?
