All the Euro countries changed their currencies from one day to the other. You cannot use the old currency anymore in any of these countries.

Not in a regular bank anymore. But most countries have a central bank, in the case of Spain is called Banco de Espa�a.
Italy will have a similar institution, central bank, and you will be able to change them at a fixed rate set in January 2000.

I don't think so Robert. There may be a window of opportunity to change them at an Italian bank, but I fear that that may have closed already.
But I will leave it to others to confirm this.

Can anyone here advise me whether or not one can still use Lire in Italy? I have some notes left over from a trip 3 years ago.
Thanks, Danke & Grazie! |
