The digits 1 and 2 are numbers synonymous with diabetes, more so than any other digit or letter.
It might surprise you to learn that there is €32m worth of 1c and 2c coins in Ireland….yes €32m!

Did you know, if everyone in Ireland who has diabetes filled a 1L bottle with a mixture of 1c and 2c coins annually, we would raise a potential additional €3.4m! That is five times our current annual total fundraising.
