The Bank of Ireland was the first bank in the seventeen century to
produce notes intended solely for use within Ireland. Early notes were
denominated either in Irish pounds or guineas,
In the eighteen century the Irish pound was replaced by the pound
sterling and later Irish banknotes were issued denominated in sterling.
Banks issuing notes during this period were
the Bank of Ireland issuing sterling notes in
denominations of 1 pound and 30 shillings. and by 3, 5, 10 and 20 pounds. The Belfast
Banking Company issuing 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pounds. The
National Bank issuing 1, 3, 5 and 10 pounds. The Northern Banking
Company issuing 5 pounds notes followed by
notes for 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pounds .
Provincial Bank issuing its first 10 pound notes in 1835, followed by 1,
2, 3, 5, 10 and 100 pounds. The Ulster Bank issuing notes
from 1900 in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pounds.
Intitally the partition of Ireland did not have any direct impact on
currency; however, the Currency Act of 1927 gave the Currency Commission
the sole authority to print and circulate legal tender in the Irish Free
State. This resulted in notes issued directly by the Commission and
also by the eight shareholding banks. From 1943 to 2001, the Central
Bank of Ireland took over this role, until the introduction of the euro.
Currently euro banknotes circulate in the Republic as legal tender. |
