I know that this is kind of a silly question, but I am heading to Ireland and France in a few weeks and I was wodering if there was any chance I could get my hands on some of the old Irish or French coins/paper bills? Can I just go into a bank and exchange Euros? Thanks!!
Can you still get old currency?

No, banks will not sell you punts and francs anymore. You should be able to get them at a premium via a currency collector's website.
Punts and Francs are no longer legal tender....you can't exchange euros for them.
I still have various european coins , lots of francs , deutschmarks & various others that I will willingly give you free of charge.
Contact me when you are in Paris on 0143909191 & I will gladly give you a bag of assorted coins.
