Is there anywhere i can exchange italian lira & french francs for euros?

I was on a trip to Italy about 6 years ago,when i was moving i discovered i had a suitcase full of french francs and lira is is there anyway i can exchange them or should i just throw them away i have about 80,000 francs and 200million lira

Answer 1

you can like send money to this place or exchange it at an airport!

Answer 2

200 million lira is about 100.000 (one hundred thousand dollars) if you send them to me i will manage to exchange them, but you should let me keep a gooD 25%

:P

i think you have only 200 thousand liras... i think that you can change them only at the banca d'italia in rome, via xx settembre.

Answer 3

I was living in Italy when the lire was introduced, and the commercials on TV said that after a certain date (in 2002), lire could only be exchanged at the Banca d'Italia.

Are you sure you have 200 million lire? That's over $100,000. And you have about $16,000 in francs. Why can't I ever find money like that in a suitcase?

Answer 4

Oh how sad. That's a lot of francs and lire to have held onto in a suitcase.

I think they are defunct  since they are no longer in use.

Answer 5

Perhaps all is not lost.  Here's a New York Times article: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.ht...

Plan a trip to each of those countries within the next five years or so, go to the national bank and voilà!

Hope that helps!

Answer 6

You can usually exchange foreign currency in the U.S. in any NATIONAL bank... it will have the word "National" in it's name.
