Irish coins found in circulation OUTSIDE Ireland

[Muppetshow]

Just a few years ago the Irish coins were amongst the most rare coins in my change here in the middle of Germany. The last two coins I was missing in my collection of the standard circulation coins from the first 12 countries were 1 Cent Finland and 50 Cent Ireland.

Nowadays they are quite common, almost 1 percent of my change. Even the 1 and 2 Cent coins aren't too hard to find.
