According to a spokesperson the Central Bank is very pleased to include the baby set in its range of collector coin sets. “Demand for our coin sets from collectors at home and abroad is very high, and we find that people use them to mark a special event or celebration such as a birth or christening, which may take place during the year. Now we are responding to demand from our customers for a set dedicated to marking the year of a baby’s birth.”
