If you're referring to the Italian lira, it was replaced by the euro in 2002.

However a few other countries' currencies also use the name lira, although they're not the same as each other or the former Italian lira. It's the official name in Turkey and the colloquial name in Lebanon and Syria, where the official name is "pound". The etymology is that "lira" is derived from the Latin word libra, which is directly related to the pound weight unit in the old British and current US systems of measurement.
