How much are Italian coins worth?

Answer 1

Since Italy adopted the Euro, it is no longer legal tender. 200 Lira was about 40 cents US when I was there in the 1970s and probably went down later. Now the old coins are being hung on necklaces and sold for big bucks on the shopping networks.

Answer 2

Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.

Answer 3

Since Italy adopted the Euro, the old Lira coins are no longer legal tender. However, the TV shopping networks are selling pendants made from the "old" coins for big bucks.
