Sell them to tourists as souvenirs! Probably worth a lot more that way
Bring them to the Central Bank.
There’s a shop in Ceardlann in Spiddal, Galway that would love those for jewelry.
Clean them up. Drill a small hole and add a key ring and sell them.
Job lot on eBay with reserve at face value.
I paid £15 in a place in England for a little pill box made of Irish 2p coins which were curved into kinda dome shapes. They each had a brass ring on one side which slotted together. There were others for £20 and £25 made of 20p and 1 punt coins
You can still get the auld coins exchanged for €. How much do you think you have?
the central bank will convert them for you
Take bets on how many you can stick up your bum. Winner gets to keep the remaining coins.
I’d take a handful…
Jaysus. Get rid before the leprechaun find ya.
Put them into a sock and beat people who owe you money!
I miss the Punt, it was such a pretty currency.
Hit up your closest lap dancing club and make it rain.
Keep em for a while away in the attic and sell em on later in life.
To the train tracks!!!!!! Still wear a drilled 1p on a chain me and an old friend had a train flatten for us as teens. Sadly she’s no longer with us 🙁
I watch way too much crap on TV. Where did you find them? The could be the leftovers of a robbery. All the cheaper coins just left somewhere, as trying to cash that much small coins could have drawn attention.
You should give them to me
Yep. I’d buy some.
They work as €2 coins in super market trollies
Given the high price of copper right now. Take them down to a scrap yard 😂
Put them up the bum
Start selling the good quality ones to people who want a coin from their birth year.
If you have enough, I’ve seen lads use 1’s & 2’s to make a table top or flooring. With a resin poured over looks class.
The 2p can be used as a Euro in old pool tables.
Build yourself a time machine and buy yourself a pint and a packets of crips
If you find a good way to cash in/out, let me know. Had an uncle for a while back and he left 19lb of old English and Irish pennies, and probably a similar mass of sixpence, threepenny bits, florins, shillings and half crowns. In in Canada, and we don’t have accessible railway lines here.
I imagine a lot of folks would consider you very lucky!
Leave them inside a cadt iron pit, wait for a day of sun, spray water avove the cadt iron pot, wait for leprechaun, mug leprachaun, profit
British 2p coins work in the laundry machines as $1 in my Toronto rental building. As far as I remember the Irish and British 2p coins were the same size?
I’d recommend partnering with a GAA club and flying to Canada with dozens of loads of dirty socks to wash at a massive discount.

Bring them to the bank.
Or put them in the bath and do a Scrooge McDuck.
Out to Bray and play on the amusements.
