The lira (plural lire) was the currency of Italy between 1861 and 2002. Between 1999 and 2002, the Italian lira was officially a “national subunit” of the euro. However, physical payments could only be made in lire, as no euro coins and notes were available. The lira was also the currency of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy between 1807 and 1814.
