Maybe it is because I came here (or firstly opened Irish catalogue) after it was changed this way, I get used to it.
This one?

EDIT: As Egypt (and others) are being dealt with, I believe a discussions should be started with Ireland referee on changing those names. (If they are unsatisfactory) From my experience, talking is useless. Making hoards of request and talking sense to people politely works everytime like a charm.

As far as I remember, it already won some prizes. 
And you are right, Prague is a gem. (And if you want some more of those, I am here (but postage is pretty high though 
, and that actually keeps me from doing exchanges outside EU) )

Citeer: "Oklahoman"Numista is an english language websiteActually it's French, and now it's international with English as a lingua franca. Why does everyone say that "Numista is English" and "This is the English site". No, this is the international site!

Citeer: "ngdawa"AND >>> English is "THE" international language ... Synonymous, interchangeable, convertible, corresponding, one and the same .....

Yes, like I said, English is the lingua franca, but the only language. Therefore we should embrace the minority languages such as Irish, in this case.
The attitude that it's an English site makes people think it's just Americans here, and all of a sudden a lot of threads pops up which just concernes Americans. Like US postage costs, talk about your state, etc. Therefore I reckon it's important to point out that it's international site. Otherwise people from outside of the US, and the rest of the English speaking world, might be too afraid to post/write anything in their poor school English.
I don't mean to point out just the Americans, but since they easily can dominate coin sites like these (because the numismatic hobby is greater there than anywhere else, probably) it easily can lead to that people are afraid to write.
Yes, English is the first language we use in the forum, but not the only one. This way everyone can be included!

Citeer: "Messiah2012"What are you talking about? You want to take away "pingin" and write "shilling" in the name?LOL! No, pinging = penny/pence, scilling = shilling, punt = pound. They want to remove the Irish names and change it to the Englsh names - for some reason.
To write "pingin/penny" is obviously out of the question. Everything must be a problem here

Citeer: "Jarcek"Thanks. For me the best solution is to leave it as it is. Irish names and english ones in the value field - so the coins are easy to by found by searching.Agreed! (even though my oponion doesn't count
)

Citeer: "pnightingale"I had intended to offer my, hopefully well thought out, opinion on the subject. However as the debate has been turned into a showboating anti American Cultural Imperialism spectacle I reckon I'll just opt out of this particular circus.LOL! That's not the issue, that was about English vs. International forum. That was just a parenthesis.
Please share yout thoughts, mate!

You know the way the Yanks are. I'm sure they would support the Irish spelling. Don't they all have a great great great great great grandfather that was Irish or something.
Therefore they claim to be half-Irish.

I collect euros, Irish pre-euro coins and at least one coin from every country.

Jaysus. I was joking. Someone was on about imperialism! From Americans like!!
Anyway.
I was asked what I thought about changing the names. Sure if it comes up when you search penny or pence or whatever what is the harm in it? I think the proper name should be kept is all.
Good luck.

I rekreko we should keep it as it is. Obviously you will find what you're looking for anyway, so why bother change it? It will just create confusion.

Citeer: "Jarcek"This is getting little out of hand. Just end it. We asked Irish, they told us to keep Irish names as coins are refered as such in their country.Well there we have it, "problem" solved!
