  Irish pound | Topic Definition | Find the Meaning and Define the Answer of Irish pound
The Irish pound (Irish language: punt) was the currency unit of the Irish Free State, and later of the republic of Ireland until 1 January, 1999; the ISO 4217 code was IEP, and the usual notation was the prefix £ (IR£ where confusion might have arisen with Sterling).
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.
With a conversion factor of 0.787564 Irish pounds to the euro, fifty-six per cent of the value of Irish banknotes was withdrawn from circulation within two weeks of the introduction of euro banknotes and coins, and 83.4 per cent by the time they ceased to have legal tender status on 9 February.

Coins listed in this catalogue which are common (or in lower grade than is readily available for the type) are provided with prices.
Coins which are listed as rare (or which are in exceptionally good condition for their type) will often sell for closer to the collector's buying price because a dealer will be happy to carry a desirable item at a smaller mark-up.
