	Coins of the Irish Republic 1970-2002

		THE new £1 millennium coin, launched yesterday, marks the end of an era in Irish minting as it will be the last Irish coin to be produced here before the introduction of the euro currency in 2002.
		He described the millennium coin as the last of the distinctive Irish coins that first went into circulation in 1928, a celebration of a special time, but also the end of an era.

		The design is of a red deer, by the Irish artist Tom Ryan, and based on photographs taken by Sean Ryan of red deer from the Irish national deer herd in Killarney National Park.
		The coin was almost identical in dimensions to the old penny coin that circulated before 1971, and was quite similar in diameter to, but thinner than, the half-crown coin.
		During the early circulation of the coin, many payphone and vending machines which had been changed to accept the pound coin also accepted the old penny instead, the latter coin no longer legal tender and of little value to collectors.

	New one Pound note
		The change from paper to plastic was in response to a general reduction in the average life of the lower denomination notes and the consequent increase in the annual costs of maintaining the note issue.
		At that time and for similar reasons other countries were changing from notes to coins and this was evidenced by the new one Pound coin in the United Kingdom and the new Susan B. Anthony Dollar coin in the United States.
		Whilst the one Pound coin was used in the U.K. because the English Pound note has been withdrawn, there appears to be regional pride in the continued presence of Scottish and Northern Irish notes.

		The obverse design of the Irish euro coins is identical to that featured on the back of Irish pound coinage, apart from the circle of 12 stars.
		Irish euro coins all share the same design by the hand of Jarlath Hayes, that of the harp, a traditional symbol for Ireland since the Middle Ages, based on that of the Brian Boru Harp, housed in Trinity College Dublin, and said to have once been owned by ancient High King of Ireland, Brian Boru.
		The coins' design also features the 12 stars of the EU, the year of imprint and the Irish language word for Ireland, "Éire", in the traditional Gaelic script alphabet.

		The silver coins are quite noticeable as they have a more "whitish" look than the later cupronickel variety that were minted from 1951, also the silver coins wear less well.

	British Copper Coinage: Introduction
		In 1691 the warrant to mint the tin coins was renewed by James Hoare in partnership with Andrew Corbett and Thomas Povey.
		Among the coins found in Philadelphia in 1975 during the construction of Interstate 95 were two 1694 William and Mary copper halfpence, two William III 1700 halfpence and an early 1681 Charles II copper Irish halfpenny.
		The selection displays how these coins would have look during the 1780's and are especially interesting for comparison with the section on imported British counterfeits and with the sections on American made counterfeit halfpence including the Machin's Mills halfpence, the few unattributed counterfeits, and the related Blacksmith coppers.

		Predecimal coins then ceased to circulate, and the oldest coins became the 1969 fifty pences, which were axed in 1998, so 1971 is now the oldest dated coin you'll find in the UK.
