Ireland to honour U2's 50th anniversary with an official €2 coin
Ireland's Central Bank has confirmed an official commemorative coin marking five decades of U2.
Ireland is preparing to put U2 on an official €2 commemorative coin as the band approaches its 50th anniversary — a suitably permanent tribute to four school friends whose music travelled around the world.
The Central Bank of Ireland says the coin will be issued in Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof quality. Artwork, price and the precise release date have not yet been announced, so collectors should treat unofficial images or listings with caution.
For fans, the announcement is already a striking milestone: U2's story will soon be carried not only in records and memories, but in Irish currency. FanSiteIQ will update this draft when the Central Bank releases the design and ordering details.
