[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 5481730, member: 115909"]Hmm that’s very interesting. I guess I always assumed after Italy surrendered to the Allies that they just used pre-War currency. I had no idea US Dollars were circulating as legal tender in Italy though. Do you happen to know if any US coinage circulated in Italy as legal tender? Back in those days most were made of silver. Except smaller denominations of course. I’d imagine if you were living in Italy in 1944 that 2x Walking Liberty Half Dollar coins would’ve been worth the same as the $1 note right? So surely there must have been some coinage for smaller transactions under $1 or for change? Too bad it’s not like that anymore though :(. You Italians sure know how to make some amazing cheeses :).[/QUOTE]
