Just 11 mm in diameter, weighing 0.5 grams and among 12,000 of the little blighters released today, the €20 Gold Proof coin is one of the smallest in the world and its design – a monk working on The Book of Kells – is by artist Thomas Ryan.
It also costs €45.
Cough.

Bit of a stretch this.

Brendan Corrigan from Roscommon now living in Bogota appearing on Colombia’s Got Talent last Friday. He’s the guy at the back on the left waving the flag!! (2 mins 30)
Meanwhile, an interview with Terry McMahon on RTE R1’s Arena last night here. If you think McMahon is hard on film critic Donald Clarke, wait until you hear his description of the lead actor. “He didn’t have great facility with language, or technical facility…” Literally jaw-dropping.
Thanks Rory Behan
‘Dublin In Pieces’
Director Rick Larkin writes:
The film has already completed principal photography and is trying to raise funds for final post-production work which will include a surround sound mix, a beautiful original score and an online edit which is taking place at Screenscene in Dublin. We have already spent approximately €50,000 getting the film to this stage but need your help to get to the final hurdle!
Thanks PT
