The Euro
The Republic of Ireland is one of twelve European Union countries who have changed over to a single currency, the euro (?). Euro notes will be issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 euros, and coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and 1 and 2 euros. Even before euro cash appears in 2002, you can opt to pay in euros by credit card and you can get travellers' cheques in euros - you should not be charged commission for changing them in any of the eleven countries in the euro zone (also known as "Euroland"), nor for changing from any of the old Euroland currencies to any other (French francs to Irish pounds, for example). All prices in this guide for costs in the Republic are given in both Irish pounds and the euro equivalent
