Coins of Ireland

Catalog of Irish coins

The Irish pound (IEP) was the official currency of Ireland before the introduction of the euro, with an exchange rate of 1 euro = 0.787564 IEP.

The Irish pound, also known as the punt, was originally introduced in 1928 as the currency of the Irish Free State and was used for nearly seven decades until the adoption of the euro in 1999.

The Irish pound was divided into cents, and coins were issued by the Central Bank of Ireland, which was responsible for managing monetary policy and supervising the Irish financial system.
