Those Irish coins get everywhere! Did you now that Ireland is the only state to use a musical instrument as its official emblem? Also, the harp used is of mythological significance in Ireland. It is An Dagda's harp, the pre-Christian father of all the gods! And this from a supposedly Catholic country ... LOL!

it would be interesting to quantify the "internationality" of a city by looking at the coin mix of its citizens, tourists, Erasmus students etc. etc.
@Andre
I suppose they are already are doing this... At least I think I've heard something like this in the past.
@Desmond
I like your harp! ;-)
@Mathias
I searched around, but there were no Danish ones. I suppose this has something to do with politics.
Maybe we should get that euro instead of kroner in Denmark then :)
HA HA. Mathias, I feel rather stupid.
I Spent 20 minutes yesterday searching through my coin jar for a Danish coin.
Completely forgot Denmark isn't a euro country.
(Although, I think its being accepted in parts of Northern Irelnad now....)
^^^^Left out a line up there^^^^^
Was going to say:
'Completely forgot Denmark isn't a euro country like the UK.'
Feeling AND looking stupid now.
Please continue... it's only getting more fun :)
:-D
