		The Coinage Act, 1926 was passed as a legislative basis for the minting of coins for the state and these new coins commenced circulation on December 12, 1928.
		The last Irish coins issued prior to independence, were issued during the reign of George IV in 1823 and finally Irish coins were withdrawn in 1826 as a result of the integration that resulted from the 1800 Act of Union.
		This version of the harp, on a 1936 Irish farthing coin, was on Irish coinage minted from 1928 until 1937.

		Under the old currency of pounds, shillings, and pence, the pound was made up of 240 "old pence" (denoted by the symbol d), or 20 shillings (denoted by the symbol s).
		New, different coinage was issued alongside the old coins, many of which still remained legal tender at their old value, although the penny (1d) and threepenny (3d) coins were removed from circulation immediately and could only be exchanged at banks.
		The Royal Commission on Decimal Coinage (1918–1920), chaired by Lord Emmott, reported in 1920 that the only feasible scheme was to divide the pound into 1000 mills (the pound and mill system), first proposed in 1824, but that this would be too inconvenient.

	Irish pound - FX Reserves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Irish pound was superseded by the euro on 1 January 1999, when the Irish pound legally became a subdivision of the euro; actual euro currency did not begin circulation until the beginning of 2002.
		The Irish 50p was never reduced in size as it had been in the UK and this was presumably due to forthcoming replacement of the Irish Pound by the Euro.
		With a conversion factor of 0.787564 Irish pounds to the euro, fifty-six per cent of the value of Irish banknotes was withdrawn from circulation within two weeks of the introduction of euro banknotes and coins, and 83.4 per cent by the time they ceased to have legal tender status.

	Pound (currency)
		Like Britain it decimalised its currency in 1971, with the same range of coins used, of the same size and weight, albeit with different designs as had been the case since the introduction of the independent Irish coinage in 1928.
		The Irish currency came to be called the Irish Pound[?] or in the Irish language the 'Punt'.
		Irish coins introduced after 1979 (20p and £1) were of a completely different size and weight from the equivalent British coins, as were the 5p and 10p coins after both countries reduced the coins in size in the early 1990s.

		An example is the coinage of the boy king, Edward V of England, whose issues can only be differentiated from those of his father, Edward IV, by the initial mark of a boar's head, the personal sign of his uncle and protector, later Richard III.
		Coinages were reduced in western and central Europe to imitatives of the old Roman or the still functioning East Roman (Byzantine) Empires.

		However, Irish merchants and Irish money had such worthy status that not only did they still succeed with it on the Continent, but, one hundred years later, Irish coinage had to be forbidden again in England.
		Irish linens of every kind were forbidden to be exported to all other countries with the exception of Britain.

	Irish pound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first Irish coinage was equivalent to that of England, with the pound divided into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence.
		By this time Irish exports to the United Kingdom (UK) were 50%, whilst imports were 47%; the Irish economy had diverged greatly since the introduction of the currency in 1928 and was less dependent on trade with the UK.
		The Irish 50p was never reduced in size as it had been in the UK and this was presumably due to forthcoming replacement of the Irish Pound by the Euro.

	The Irish Coinage of Richard III (1483 to 1485)
		Richard III did implement his brother Edward IV's new coinage (see next section) but the earliest coins in his name are of the last type of Edward (with Richard's name often stamped over Edward's on the die).
		Edward IV's last coinage Act in 1483 was to introduce a new coinage of entirely Irish design and of a lower standard from the sterling issues in England.
		This coinage known as the 'three crown coinage' was introduced by his brother Richard III after Edward's death in 1483.

		This coinage was 10oz fine instead of the standard 11oz 2dwts and the commission referred to the coins as 6d and 3d Irish.
		The ratio between English and Irish was 3 to 4, so the Irish groat and shilling started their life as equivalent to threepence and ninepence respectively.
		Although the object of this second coinage was to effect a reformation of the existing Irish currency, the small quantity produced was obviously inadequate for the purpose, and the base monies still circulated freely along with foreign coin.

		Henry II (1154-89) took control of English interests in Ireland in the 1170s, and a coinage for the English territories began under his son John, as lord of Ireland and later as king of England (1199-1216).
		The coinage of Harold II's brief reign ended after the Battle of Hastings, although some of the English mints may have continued to issue his coins for a short time until William I was recognised as king.
		The English mints did not produce halfpennies in the reign of John, but the Irish were already accustomed to the use of coins worth half of an English penny, and the issue of them continued.

		The Irish linen industry of the 1700's was a prime example of the economic tactics the English used to control Irish development.

		The Shamrock is said to be worn by the Irish upon the anniversary of their Saint Patrick because, when he preached to the pagan Irish, he often used the Shamrock - which is usually a three- leafed clover grass on a single stalk - to illustrate the doctrine of the Christian Trinity.
		No Irish coinage exists bearing his name, although it is known that similar English and Scottish coinage was brought to Ireland by his friends and foes and circulated freely during his turbulent 20 year reign.
		The Irish problem was still plaguing the English - as part of the country had decided that they would support the ‘red rose’ of Lancaster and another part the ‘white rose’ of York - and it didn’t matter much that the war had been fought and won - for the first time - in England.

	Irish Coin Sets Available - Including 2000
		The Anglo-Irish coinage is fascinating in the fact that the mintage of coins under English kings and queens does not parallel the production of coins in mints in England, especially during times of war or political disputes.
		The leaders of the new Irish state decided to create a coinage which would be very different to that of the United Kingdom, the harp being chosen for the obverse design and a delightful set of animal designs being selected for the reverses.
		As Irish and British coins circulated freely in Ireland it was seen as a good idea to make the transition at the same time as the United Kingdom, the day of transfer to the new coinage being February 15th 1971.

		The first locally produced Irish coinage was the so-called Hiberno-Norse coinage which was first minted in Dublin in about 995 AD under the authority of Sithric III (aka Sithric Silkbeard) the Norse king of Dublin.
		The coinage quickly degraded to crude copies of the 'long cross' type of Aethelred and by about 1030 AD they contain minimal legends of vertical strokes instead of letters.
		By the early 1100s the coins were either double or single sided bracteates (thin coins where the design on one side appears in reverse on the other) and sometime before the Normans arrival in Ireland in 1169 production had ceased.
