The Oireachtas Petitions Committee has received a call looking for the UFC star to be featured on a 1-euro coin.
The petition was submitted in the days after the Crumlin fighter defeated José Aldo to claim the UFC's Featherweight Championship.
However the petition is unlikely to be accepted as Ireland would need to get approval from every other EU member state in order to issue a special coin that could be accepted as legal tender.
If approved the move would see the fighter's success turned into hard currency.
