<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 8061781, member: 15588&quot;]I brought two of those same bills back with me from Italy way back in 1998 before the Euro dethroned the Lire (one pictured below). Ours have different signatures. I paid 60,000 Lire each for an Italy and a Vatican coin set for that year (actually for the prior year, because then Italy ran a year behind, so they only had 1997 sets). I remember handing the coin shop owner (who spoke no English whatsoever) a 100,000 Lire note, which I think pictured Caravaggio, and it felt a little bit powerful to spend 100,000 of any denomination. Of course a Coke cost 5,000 Lire. But I enjoy illusions of power!!! They&#039;re all the power I have! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1397369[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1397370[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
