Does all of the UK use the pound? Or does Ireland use something else?

Answer 1

All of the UK, which included Northern Ireland but not the Republic of ireland, uses the pound

The Republic of Ireland uses the punt

Answer 2

Ireland (Republic) does NOT use the punt any longer. It uses the Euro and has done for years.

The good news is you don't need to change money if going from continental Europe to Ireland (or vice versa).

Northern Ireland uses the pound sterling (as used in Scotland, England and Wales) and issues its own banknotes too (which are in pound sterling but are not widely recognised or accepted in England despite being legal tender).

You will, therefore, have to deal in 2 currencies. On the Irish border it is common for shops to accept both Euros and pounds.

If in Northern Ireland, make sure to spend your Irish bank sterling notes in Northern Ireland (e.g. Northern Bank, Bank of Ulster), and ask for English notes when you are getting change. Notes come in the standard denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 pounds.

The coins are the same all over Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Euro notes and coins are not accepted in England, Scotland or Wales (but notes are easily changeable in UK post offices, travel agencies or banks).

Hope this helps you

Answer 3

Northern Ireland uses the pound as its currency like the rest of the United Kingdom but Eire - Southern Ireland - isn't British and used to use the punt but gave that up in favour of the Euro.

Answer 4

Northern Ireland, Wales, England & Scotland use pounds, Republic of Ireland uses Euros

Answer 5

The Republic of Ireland is definitely not part of the United Kingdom. All the United Kingdom uses the pound "sterling". The Irish currency is called the "punt".

Answer 6

Very funny.

And thanks to our integration with the rest of Europe, we have one of the fastest growing economies in the world. So enjoy your xenophobia/racism, it will be the end of you.
