I added the sentence about old pennies still being in circulation. I work in a shop/petrol station in Limerick city, and you'd be surprised how many you'll see - I come across at least one penny a week, posing as a 5c coin. Some of the other employees working there don't seem to notice either, as I often see pennies alreasy in the tills!

I was also astonished last week to see an elderly man pull out of his wallet - among several Euro notes - an old tenner! And it wasn't even the last series of tenners - it was one of the 'series B' ones!! Haven't seen one of those in years... --Zilog Jones 02:15, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
