Subject: Irish 10P From: Haruo Date: 15 Jan 02 - 12:14 AM Yesterday, in Seattle, Washington, I received an Irish 10P piece in change, presumably mistaken for an American nickel (5¢ coin). Now that there's no such thing as Irish money anymore, what should I do with it? Liland |

Subject: RE: Help: Irish 10P From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Jan 02 - 12:34 AM Hire a private eye and track down the SOB who gave it to you. Wait until dark and then enter their home and take them hostage until your nickel is returned. If they no longer know the whereabouts of your nickel, castrate all males in the family and send their balls to anyone who they say might have your nickel. Follow up on each of these and perform the same on any who cannot produce your nickel. When the police catch up with you, say that you are doing this because the voices in your head keep repeating the same phrase over and over......."Calcified toad bones are tee-pee windows".......while a vision of your great aunt Lucy strips down to her g-string.

Subject: RE: Help: Irish 10P From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 15 Jan 02 - 03:35 AM Go to Kells Pub, on Post Alley I believe, order a pint of Murphy's Stout, pay for it with American money, and slip the 10p in with the change that you leave as a tip! Seamus |

Subject: RE: Help: Irish 10P From: GUEST,Paddy Plastique (sans Cookie) Date: 15 Jan 02 - 05:51 AM Use it as a spurious excuse to travel to the Auld Sod where the Central Bank on Dame St., Dublin 2, will change it for ya into the princely sum of 8 (euro) cents. No date limit on that either. If you're going to take up Catspaw's option, on the other hand, I reckon it was highly-placed executives in the 2 biggest Irish banks that done it. That planted the damn thing in that till. Do everything advised 'cept sing 'em 'Pretty Boy Floyd' backwards as ye're doing it... |

Subject: RE: Help: Irish 10P From: Grab Date: 15 Jan 02 - 08:40 AM I was going to suggest using it if you go to Britain, cos British and Irish coins used to be the same size and weight, just with different piccies on them. But Britain went to using smaller silver coins (5p, 10p, 50p) a few years back and I think the Irish kept the larger ones, so you wouldn't get away with it. Graham. |
