Italians used the lira as their currency for almost 141 years. The concept of the lira sterlina [pound sterling] goes back to the time of Charlemagne [April 2, 742-January 28, 814]. It was used by many parts of Italy before unification of the Italian peninsula on February 18, 1861. With unification, the unified lira became the Italian currency throughout Italy. The European Union's euro was supposed to be the lira's replacement as of January 1, 1999. But euro coins and notes didn't become available for circulation and use until January 1, 2002.
