    I would like to get a bag of 25 €2 coins and have a €50 note. Is it as simple as walking into any bank to swap them? I don't have a bank account with any Irish bank.

    Yes, you don't need a bank account but some bank branches only do cash on certain days of the week. You could always try a busy retail operation like your local McDonalds, the only problem there being that for security reasons they tend to clear out excess cash from the tills every now and then so a single cash register will probably never have that many €2 coins. Another option is your local post office, pub or supermarket.

    A better bet will be to split the €50 into ten or twenty euro notes and see if you can exchange them one at a time for €2 coins, that will probably work. It might even work in a single store like Tesco if you went from one checkout to another picking up 5 or 10 two euro coins at a time but converting a single €50 in one go might be a challenge in anywhere other than a bank.
