Ireland Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Ireland is fascinating and reflects the country's political and economic changes over time. From its first banknotes to the adoption of the euro, Ireland has experienced a significant evolution in its paper currency.

Old Irish banknotes

The first Irish banknotes were issued in 1928 by the Irish Currency Commission, shortly after the country's independence. These notes, known as the Series A, featured designs with Celtic motifs and Irish mythological figures. In 1976, Series B was introduced, which featured portraits of Irish historical figures such as Daniel O'Connell and Charles Stewart Parnell. The last series of banknotes before the euro, Series C, was launched in 1992 and featured Irish literary figures such as James Joyce and W.B. Yeats.

Current banknotes and the adoption of the euro

In 2002, Ireland adopted the euro as its official currency, replacing the Irish pound. Euro banknotes are identical in all eurozone countries, but each country can customize one side of its coins. An important milestone in Irish notafilia was the complete withdrawal of Irish pound banknotes in 2002, marking the end of an era in the country's monetary history. Currently, the Irish use the seven euro banknotes in denominations of €5, €10, €20, €50, €50, €100, €200 and €500, which are legal tender throughout the euro zone.
