    Our new currency is the Bertie. This is made up of one hundred Biffos, in denominations of 10, 20 and 50 Biffo coins. Paper notes are called Seanies and the smallest note, of course, is 500 Berties, or Seanies, depending on the recipient.

    Other notes are in units of 1,000 and 5,000. By 2012 the smallest note will be the 5,000,000 Bertie, otherwise known as the Enda. This will eventually be our smallest denomination due to imminent hyperinflation.

    I nominate the Langer. Just for the appalled looks you'd get until people got used to it. We could do with a morale booster.

    Homeless: "Butty can you spare a langer for a cup a tea?"

    Mother: "The spuds are gone up in the moon. Eight langers for a five pound bag."
    Daughter: "Ah Mam, sure we've gone metric now. Its kilos."

    Overheard at the bus stop: "That dress must have cost her a fair few langers."

    Sign outside a church: "Only twelve hundred more langers and the new roof is all systems go!"

    It would mean a few adjustments like: Young lad holding his head on a Sunday morning; "Jayze. I must have been absolutely euroed last night. I'm langerless for the week."
