 | | Five Pence The British decimal Five Pence (5p) coin was issued in 1968 in preparation for the forthcoming decimalisation of the coinage. | | | In 1990 a smaller version weighing 3.25 grams and with a diameter of 18.00 millimetres was introduced, and all the older 5p and shilling coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised from 1 January 1991. | | | As at that time it had the same value, size, and weight as the pre-existing Shilling coin it may be viewed as a continuation of the older coin. |

| | Modern Irish Coinage (1928 to date) |
| | In 1982 the British coinage was augmented with a 20 pence and a pound which were not matched by similar coins in the Irish system. | | | The new decimal 5 pence and 10 pence coins were identical in size and of equivalent value to the previous coinage, these coins were introduced early, in 1969, and the older counterparts were not demonitised. | | | I believe that this coin was manufactured as one of a series of coins of similar size and weight produced by the Royal Mint to commemornate the 50th Anniversary of the UN. |

| | Ireland receives an annual rainfall of between 31 to 47 inches (more in the west). | | | To cut peat, an area of bogland is drained; the top layer containing living plants is removed; the turf is then cut using a sléan (a narrow spade with a side blade set at a right-angle), and it is laid out on the ground to dry. | | | 25% of Ireland's electricity is generated by peat-fired power stations. |
