You can see pictures of euro coins at many sites. This one is a retail site (moderator: delete if against posting guidelines) but has many very good images:

Answer 2

Coins with Éire on them are from the Republic of Ireland. If they are Euro coins, they can be used in any country that uses the Euro as its currency. If it is from before 2002 they are no longer in use, as the Euro started being used on Janary 1st 2002.I Many Irish people would have kept some of the old coins and notes, so they are far from being a rare item and of any real value as a collector's item.

Answer 3

Éire is the Irish language name for Ireland. You will see it on Irish coins and stamps. So a coin with Éire on it is from Ireland. The coin will also have a harp on it, which is the official symbol of Ireland.

Answer 4

A coin with Éire on it is from Ireland. Ireland uses the Euro as its currency since the 1st of January, 2002. Prior to that it used the punt. Coins before and after the 1st of January 2002 issued in Ireland have Éire on them, and Ireland's national emblem, the harp. So Éire coins are in circulation, but only the Euro ones and not the punt ones.

Answer 5

Coins with Éire on them are used in the Republic of Ireland. This is the case of the Irish Euro coins now used and also of coins prior to the introduction of the Euro.
