Oh well. It's a 1957 100 Lire Italiana coin. Any idea if it's worth anything?   02-24-2009, 07:10 PM   #2 (permalink) FreakyGarrettC Wise young snail     Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Florida Posts: 2,989 My Mood: it goes in the World & Ancient coin section. I am sure Doug will move it if need be. I dont know the value but it is always cool finding strange world coins in circulation. __________________ "I know it's easy to imagine but it's easier to just do See, if you can't do what you imagine, then what is imagination to you?

You're right it is neat to find foreign coins here in circulation. Probably not worth anything but had to ask.   02-24-2009, 07:36 PM   #4 (permalink) kvarterto Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Noreg Posts: 226 Somewhere between 25 cents and 4 dollars if it´s cirkulated. If the coin is UNC its worth 50 dollars.   02-24-2009, 07:38 PM   #5 (permalink) kdkenn Bank Employee     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Arkansas Posts: 621 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by kvarterto Somewhere between 25 cents and 4 dollars if it´s cirkulated. If the coin is UNC its worth 50 dollars. Thanks. It's circulated. I paid .50 for it because I got it from our changer bag at work and somehow it had made its way into our half dollar bag so I had to replace it with a half dollar.   02-25-2009, 02:25 AM   #6 (permalink) Cucumbor Coinaholic     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: France Posts: 556 My Mood: Many people have to spend $$$ to make themselves happy.
