Souvenir Saturday: Its Smaller on the Outside

I was on my last afternoon in Ireland, and had a lot of euro coins left over. Knowing that my bank won’t exchange coins, was buying random souvenirs as gifts. One of the last items I bought was a small county flag of Dublin, Ireland. I had seen them around while traveling and they reminded me of the flags of the different contrade of Siena. But when I returned home and open the package, I found that this 7 euro flag, was not a small flag. But it was actually the size of a traditional flag (about the size of a loveseat couch.) It now resides above my TV taking over the entire wall and is a great talking piece with its Dublin coat of arms featuring 3 burning castles.
