<p>[QUOTE=&quot;petronius, post: 1419550, member: 37365&quot;]The others are two Am-lire notes, 500 and 1000 lire.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the Americans printed Am-lire, they decided to use a method based on lithographic inks with high specificity, in order to make the selection and the resulting photographic counterfeiting <i>&quot;extremely difficult, if not impossible&quot;.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>But Italians do it better :too-cool-for: ...the number and type of fakes was tremendous <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Because people did&#039;nt know the new notes, one of the most popular ways of counterfeiting was to add a zero to the value .. 50 lire became 500, 100 became 1000. For this reason, was issued another series of notes, Series of 1943A, with value in numbers and letters.</p><p><br /></p><p>But was not enough, there were more sophisticated ways of counterfeiting, as shown by my two notes</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/rbl4wm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i41.tinypic.com/nmagxy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They were discovered and canceled with a perforated stamp FALSO (fake). I suppose that were discovered after a short time, because they are in quite good condition, especially the 500 lire, and I think that they have not been around for a long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>petronius :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
