Woman finds 100 MILLION lire in her safe - only to be told it's worth NOTHING because Italy has had the euro for more than a decade Claudia Moretti discovered the cash in a safe at her uncle’s home She had inherited the house following her uncle's death Her hopes of being rich were dashed when she went to the bank She was told the deadline had passed to change the lire into euros Lawyers challenged the decision but were unsuccessful http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz2wPl3YNvl .

FLOMBIE Posted March 19, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) The article stated "A woman who found 100 million lire in cash which would be worth £43million" Yeah, I know. It was just a jab at the Italian inflation.They did have really high numbered bills, up to 500.000, if I recall right. Edit: Actually, no. It would be £43148.05. The Daily Fail.

Setton Posted March 19, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2014 The article stated "A woman who found 100 million lire in cash which would be worth £43million" Well that's just not true. I remember going to Italy about 15 years ago. First and only time I was a millionaire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
