Free circulation of Irish pound alongside British pound
Presidente posted a topic in British Coin Related Discussions & Enquiries
Hi everybody! I'm new in the forum, I'm from Italy and I'd like to begin a new collection of British coins at the moment from King Edward VII coinage. I know that British Crown Dependencies coins are not legal tender in the UK as well as Falkland, St. Helena, Gibraltar and other ex colonies (Nigeria, Fiji etc.) ones but regurarly they enter in Great Britain's circulation as they have the same diameter, weight and composition of the british pound coins. What I want to know, instead, is if Irish pound coins were legal tender in UK because I red that british ones were normally accepted in Ireland (were also british coins legal tender in Ireland?) at least until 1979, the year in wich parity between Irish and British pound was broken. Thank you for your competent answers. -

Thank you very much, so only british coins could circulate throughout colonies and in Ireland and not local issues and Irish pound
