Someone spent this £1000 wad of old punts in Clones last week
HAVE SOME OLD Irish Punt lying around your gaff? Don’t know where to spend it? Off to Clones with you.
Last week, a man from Clones stumbled across £1,000 in his house. It had an original band tied around it and was stamped, “Ulster Bank, Clones, 28 June 1989″.

He took himself off to Lipton’s where he managed to spend the wad of cash. How, you ask?
Ciaran Morgan of Lipton’s explained to DailyEdge.ie that businesses in Clones have been accepting the punt since 2012 as part of a local initiative to help keep money in the town.

“So far over £46,000 punt has been spent in the town,” he said. “Money that wouldn’t have been spent, I suppose.”
As for what the man who discovered the cash spent the money on?
Brilliant.
