Lira (plural Lire) was the currency used in Italy before the Euro was introduced in 2002.
Lire is nolonger in use, Italy use euro now.
Nothing since the lire doesn't exist any longer. If you can exchange it for Euros it could fetch a few cents, but I don't think much. I was in Italy in that time and the lire was really low in value. I got a good exchange rate for my dollar to lire in that time.
Italy was one of the first countries to adopt the Euro. Prior to their conversion to the decimal system based Euro (EUR) in 2002, Italy's currency was called the Lire. The Lire was equal to one hundred Centesimi, and it was the official Italian currency between 1861 and 2002.
Lire were made obsolete in 2002 when Italy adopted the euro. At that time 200 lire would have been worth less than 15 cents.
It used to be the Lire, but now it's the Euro.
Lire is no longer the currency of Italy. It has been replaced by Euros, so it isn't worth anything. You can't even use it in Italy anymore.

Not any more. It is all Euro today.
