There are seven Euro (€) notes in circulation in Ireland. In different colors and sizes they are denominated in 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5 Euros. The designs are symbolic for Europe's architectural heritage. They do not represent any existing monuments. Windows and gateways dominate the front side of each banknote as symbols of the spirit of openness and cooperation in the Euroepan Union.
The reverse side of each banknote features a bridge from a particular age, a metaphor for communication among the people of Europe and between Europe and the rest of the world.
