| Petition Title: | Put Conor McGregor on the €1 Euro Coin |
| Submitted By: | Individual |
| Petition Text: | For a country with such a rich cultural heritage in music, poetry and art we have been very bad at designing coins (a harp? Really guys? That's original) Our failure to mint a half-decent has been proposed, by me, as the main reason why the Celtic Tiger crashed.
As evident from various pictures floating around Instagram and Facebook, Irish UFC Champion Conor McGregor has a lot of money. However he is clearly too embarrassed by his countries coin to keep it here and pay tax on it. The best incentive to get McGregor to start using the euro is to put his face on the coin. This will also encourage foreign billionaires who are fans of fighting, such as Smaug the dragon to convert their vast empires to €1 euro coins. I have no background or prior experience in economics but I feel that this plan can't fail and I talked it over with my publican, who is a successful business owner, and he liked it. |
