Banknotes of Ireland

Banknotes of Ireland

Ireland has issued its own trading banknotes for several centuries, both when the whole of Ireland was one legal entity, and following partition of the island into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Notes have been issued by individual banks and by state agencies of the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom.

First Irish pound

In 1929, six banks began issuing sterling notes for circulation in Northern Ireland. These were Bank of Ireland, Belfast Banking Company, National Bank, Northern Bank, Provincial Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank.

Currently there are four note-issuing banks in Northern Ireland, based at Belfast, two of which are Irish owned, one Scottish owned and one Danish owned. Their notes are backed by deposits at the Bank of England.
