Ireland asks - Please be gentle with your euros

IRELAND - The new euro notes are taking a battering in Ireland. Despite being in circulation only four months some of them have deteriorated to such an extent that they will have to be replaced.

Other euro countries are much more careful with their cash but the lifetime of notes in Ireland has traditionally been much shorter. Old fivers only lasted about five or six months.
