  1. The same way I count American money in America. There is no difference. A  $1 bill is the same no matter what country you count it from.


  2. what does your question mean?....america has dollars and cents and ireland has euros and cents, america still has the $1 bill ireland has 1 and 2 euro coins.

    weird question

  3. Buy currency before you leave US if you can as you will get a better rate and will not pay a fee to exchange, like you will everywhere you go abroad.

    Northern Ireland take pound sterling, the rate to change US$ is not good, try to get rid of these before you leave and don't leave with any Nth Ireland notes as you will be unable to change them in most places(this also applies in Scotland they have their own notes aswell, always ask for English) get rid of all coins you cannot exchange them.

    Republic of Ireland has Euros, the rate is better for these. They count cents (all pounds and euros are now in decimal). Ireland has its own coins as do all the other Euro currency countries but all the notes are the same.

    Mark's and Spencer department stores usually have the best rates, try to negotiate everywhere you go to get the fees reduced.

    You will always pay a fee to get cash advance on a credit card aswell as your bank charging you back home to convert the money from dollars to euros, try to avoid this as much as possible. Dollars are okay to take everywhere in the world they are accepted as long as they are in good condition, you will just suffer with the rate is all. good luck

  4. What do you mean? In Ireland, a dollar is still dollar. They don't use dollars as their currency. You might need to explain the question a bit more.

  5. In ascending order, base 10. Helpful tip: Use your fingers to help you figure out those tricky additions!

  6. You don't.  You can't use American money in Ireland.  And if you arrive carrying any significant amounts of it you are seriously liable to be arrested under anti-terrorist legislation and deported straight back to the US.

    If you go to Northern Irelaind you'll need to change it into Pounds Sterling and you'll find that the banks in Northern Ireland will issue their own notes (bills to you, but don't call them that there, because a "bill" to them is an account you've got to pay).    American currency isn't worth very much at the moment and you'll have to pay somewhere around $2 US to buy every £1 in Northern Ireland.  Northern Irish coins are the same as in the rest of the UK, but it's unlikely that their paper money will be accepted anywhere else.

    If you go to the Republic of Ireland you'll have to buy Euros.  You'll have to pay a bit more than $1 US to buy one Euro.   Euros are used in most of continental Europe but not in the UK.

    You can use your credit card in either part of Ireland, but don't expect it to be accepted in small stores for small purchases -- there's liable to be a surcharge for paying by credit card on small amounts..
