How can you convert Irish pound bank notes to Euros?

Answer 1

For Irish pounds, here is one answer. From: http://www.centralbank.ie/frame_main.asp?pg=ncn_comm.asp&nv=ncn_nav.asp

You can do the exchange in person at the Dublin address below, or you can mail the cash to the Irish central bank and they will deposit the Euros in a bank account - whether they will arrange to transfer the money to a US or Canadian account is not clear. Plus I suspect the cost of mailing the money by registered mail might eat up a substantial portion of the money in question.
