Ireland has been asked to send back all of it's coinage to the European Union. Starting with the ten cent coin- Ireland will be coin free by February 2011. A new Minister has been appointed by Taosieach Brian Cowen to ensure Ireland meets it's EU directive. Batt McGonigle a previously unknown backbencher last night became the minister for small change. Batt told Begorrah Begorrah "Tis a big ask but there is no better man than me to embrace change". On December 20th- 36 trucks will arrive from Brussels and collect all the ten cent coins in Ireland and take them back to Europe where they will be redistributed to the needy in Portugal.
