Irish currency.

So, my one medieval theology professor likes John Scotus Eriugena a lot and mentioned the other day in a lecture that his picture used to appear on the Irish five-pound note:



Curious about this, I decided to write my old Irish roommate and the friend of my old Irish roommate to see if they remembered this shit and what they thought of it.

The friend of my old Irish roommate replied first:

haha, yes - don't think i still have any though. Only have one pound notes...

After that, my old Irish roommate replied:

Aye, I do remember it. Sure, twas only 7 ear ago I last saw un, begorrah.

Thx, [my old Irish roomate's name, complete with accent marking on the "o"]

I think I liked the second reply better.
