That was an awesome fiver! It was also made of plastic. I remember it well. It was recalled after the Northern Bank robbery and discontinued. The biggest bank robbery in UK and Irish history IIRC. Crazy times. The bank is now owned by Danske, so we use Danish fivers now :p Interestingly Belfast just agreed to name a street after John Bell. It's significant because there's a rule here about not naming streets after people. They got around it for Bell by naming it Bell's Theorem Crescent. Pretty sure Lord Kelvin made it onto a Scottish note too. Me, I'm all about the Punt with the stag on it.[1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_pound_%28Irish_coin%29#mediaviewer/File:Irish_pound_(reverse).png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_pound_%28Irish_coin%29#medi...
