200 million lira is about 100.000 (one hundred thousand dollars) if you send them to me i will manage to exchange them, but you should let me keep a gooD 25%
:P
i think you have only 200 thousand liras... i think that you can change them only at the banca d'italia in rome, via xx settembre.


Kailey
you can like send money to this place or exchange it at an airport!


birdy
Oh how sad. That's a lot of francs and lire to have held onto in a suitcase.
I think they are defunct since they are no longer in use.

Perhaps all is not lost. Here's a New York Times article: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=travel&res=9F00EED7153BF934A15752C0A9649C8B63

Plan a trip to each of those countries within the next five years or so, go to the national bank and voilĂ !

Hope that helps!

I was living in Italy when the lire was introduced, and the commercials on TV said that after a certain date (in 2002), lire could only be exchanged at the Banca d'Italia.

Are you sure you have 200 million lire? That's over $100,000. And you have about $16,000 in francs. Why can't I ever find money like that in a suitcase?

You can usually exchange foreign currency in the U.S. in any NATIONAL bank... it will have the word "National" in it's name.
