	Irish ten shilling coin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish ten shilling coin featured CÃºchulainn, the mythical Irish hero, the coin was produced for the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising and commenced circulation on April 12 1966 and was designed by T Hugh Paget.
		The coin did not prove popular and 1,270,000 of the 2 million produced were withdrawn and melted down, this unpopularilty maybe due to the ten shilling note which was in circulation, twenty thousand coins were issued as proofs in issue cases.
		This coin was officially removed from circulation from February 10, 2002 ; this was possibly just to remove any legal oversight involved in not officially removing the coin from circulation, any coins that were in circulation in 1966 were quickly hoarded by collectors and admirers in any case.
