- (Slang) The name of Coins.
In Skerries there are a great many slang equivalents for names of coins, some of which are listed below:-
1/2d : "make"
1d : "wing" or "clod".
2d : "C.C" .couple of "clods"
3d : "bit".
5d : "fipence".
1/8 : "score of pence".
10/ : "half-note".
There is also a riddle regarding the new Irish sixpence and threepences. It is:- Why can't you keep an Irish sixpence and an Irish threepence in your pocket? The answer is:- because the hounds would chase the hares.
Tn the beginning of the last century the Malcolmsons of waterford used to make tokens from a sort of leather. These were accepted by shopkeepers and bankers for money as they had a special mark to distinguish them.
