I'm wondering if the lira, as a currency, is still being used in transactions and as a form of payment in the present day.

Under the new system, 1 lira was equivalent to 100 centesimi, making calculations and transactions easier and more straightforward.

The Italian lira, which previously existed as a monetary unit in Italy, underwent a significant redefinition in 1861.

Prior to this redefinition, the lira was divided into 20 solidi. However, in 1862, the decimal system was introduced to streamline the currency.

In 2002, a significant change occurred when the lira ceased to be legal tender. This was due to the adoption of the euro, the monetary unit of the European Union.
