Paddy Power have opened the book on what currency Ireland will be using in December 2015.

Rumours that the Irish Mint have fired up the printing presses and began printing new punts to replace the Euro will not go away, leaving many people wondering what the future holds for Ireland.

Paddy Power are now speculating what currency Ireland will be using to buy Christmas presents in four years' time, making it 1/4 that the Irish will still be using Euro come December 2015.

However, that has not stopped punters betting on Ireland reverting back to the Punt. Eurosceptics are keen to avail of the 5/2 on offer that the Irish firm will slip back to the pre-2002 Irish Punt.

The odds on Ireland swapping Euro for the Chinese Yuan are 100/1, and just in case things get really bad there’s 1000/1 available on Ireland slipping back to the old method of bartering without any currency.

Paddy Power spokesperson Sharon McHugh told Bettingpro.com: "The rumour has been doing the rounds for a number of months now.

"As unlikely as it might seem, in this game you never say never so you'd be as well to look under the couch and in the pockets of your old coats, there could be life in the old Punt yet!"
