Good afternoon, could you possibly provide me with some clarification regarding Italian lira coins? As a crypto and finance professional, I'm quite familiar with modern digital currencies, but the Italian lira piques my curiosity. Specifically, I'd like to know what were they made of? Did they have any significant value in their heyday? And perhaps most interestingly, how do they fit into the historical context of Italian currency? I'm particularly fascinated by the intersection of traditional currencies and their digital successors, and this seems like an intriguing angle to explore. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
