will not longer be available once the Euro comes out.

Some annotations:

Euro coins and notes are in use since the start of this year.

All former national currencies are not valid any longer since today (some lost their validity a bit earlier).

Welsh (as well as English, Scottish and Northern Irish) coins are not influenced by the Euro - as Great Britain does not take part in the Euro.

About the harp: the Irish Euro coins still have the harp on the backside (all coins have one common side and one national side).

I spent all my German Mark coins during the first week of the Euro - so I can't contribute any.
