“Hey, mom. Can I bum a million lira?”
“Oh, sure. I’ve got some petty cash left from shopping yesterday.”
Lira or Euros?
Was the euro introduced in the Eromasciverse?
Before the Eurozone, wasn’t a million lira only a few hundred US dollars?
It really depends. Lira was transferred to euro at a rate of 1 € = 1936 £. The USD and EUR fluctuated pretty heavily against each other in 2000’s. At its weakest, euro was around 0.80 US dollars, while at its strongest, it has been almost 1.3 dollars. Now it is 1.08 dollars.
So, a million lires was about 450-500 dollars when euro was introduced. Now, such comparison is meaningless, because there has been inflation.
