| | Ultimalira: storia della Lira |
| | With the beginning of the new century, starting from precisely 1936, the 1 lira coin lost it's prerogative to the silver composition and made it's appearance in nickel circled by "acmonital", an alloy formed of steel, chrome, nickel and vanadium, used still to date for the 50 and 100 lira coins. | | | It's of little importance if the base currency which the mint circulates, that of the 1 lira, is a small coin of approximately 17 millimetres in diameter, that weighs little more than ½ gramme and is made of a material of little worth such as "italma" an alloy based of alluminim and magnesium. | | | The origin of the Lira, even if not in the terms which we consider it today, is very ancient. |

| | Rick Steves' Europe: Italian Lira Scam Continues to Dog Sloppy Tourists |
| | Here's the scam: The old 500 lira coin (worth about $.25 before the Euro made it worthless in 2001) is the same size and design (silver outer ring with inlaid copper middle) as the new €2 coin (worth $2.50). | | | For a generation, tourists were being ripped off by Italian merchants who rightly figured we couldn't keep track of all the zeros. | | | Europeans never touch a coin the size of a €2 without verifying that it is actually €2. |

| | European court slaps VW with record $86M fine - Jul. 6, 2000 |
| | EU rules allow carmakers to sell through dealers that offer only one manufacturer's products, but make it illegal to prevent dealers selling to individuals or companies acting on their behalf who want to take advantage of variations prices within the 15-nation bloc. | | | Prior to monetary integration behind the new "euro" currency, those dealers took advantage of a weak Italian lira to sell cars to non-Italian-based customers, in particular to those from Germany and Austria. | | | The lira was especially weak in 1992 after the currency withdrew from the European exchange rate mechanism, which tied several national currencies to one another. |

| | A Model of the Currency Crisis of 1992: the Case of the British Pound and the Italian Lira |
| | The purpose of this paper is to develop a theoretical model of the attack on the Italian Lira and the British Pound and the subsequent exit of these currencies from the ERM in September 1992. | | | Apart from a small start up grant in the 1990's, RePEc receives no funding and lives on the help of volunteers. | | | One element that has been crucial in the formulation of agents' expectations of future exchange rates, and hence the sustainability of the system, has been the degree of willingness of the Bundesbank to intervene and support the weak currencies of the System. |

| | Then Euro sharply appreciated relative to the US dollar in 2002-2004 (in spite of its modest weakening in 2005) and Italian firms further lost competitiveness. | | | Italy's fundamentals are not as bad as the current account is in a surplus, the lira is not massively overvalued, the external shocks are more modest and given, its primary surplus, the debt levels are high but not spiraling out of control. | | | So, already a semi-insolvent Italian government would likely become fully insolvent if its real debt to GDP ratio would go up by 30% overnite. |

| | The lira was a unit of account long before it existed as a coin or a note. | | | The word "lira" is derived from the Latin "libra", meaning pound, which makes it a distant cousin of the British pound sterling, whose Roman roots are reflected in the L-shaped £ symbol. | | | Some of these were works of art: the Italian sculptor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini was employed to cut dies for coins when Florence became a duchy under the Medici. |
