Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 12:55 am The only "circulation" coin issued by Italy containing silver during the postwar period was the 500 lire. It was struck in 11 grams of .835 fine silver up to the cessation of the lire in 2001, though it was only issued in circulation quantity up to 1970; 1967 in the last year in the catalogue where a value is given for a circulated example. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
