What was the currency in Italy in the late 1800s?

Prior to the Euro the Italian currency was the Lira. Prior to the Lira it was the "livres" - which was used in Italy during Napoleon's rule - from the late 1700 and well into the early/mid 1800's.\nHope this helps.

Italy uses the Euro currency which is also used in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.\n\nThere are still many countries in Europe that do not use the Euro, such as Sweden and Britain.

The origin seems to be unknown - and be aware of the fact, that in earlier days it was a 1 dollar coin.\n(see link)

In 1933 the gold standard for money ceased.  Paper money was represented by silver for a little time after that. I vaguely remember my parents searching for silver certificates - dollars backed by silver - because the newspaper had a reward for them.  I don't know why some still think we're still on a gold standard.

money in general but us dollar specifically .\n****************************\nThe sign is attested in business correspondence between British North America and Mexico in the 1770s as referring to the Spanish-Mexican piastre. The piastre was known as "Spanish dollar" in British North America, and in 1785, it was adopted as U.S. currency, together with both the term "dollar" and the $ sign.\n\nThe sign's ultimate origins are not certain. The most widely accepted explanation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is that "$" is a corruption of the letters "PS" or "PS" (for 'peso' or 'piastre' - especially the former, as each letter could represent each syllable of "Pe-So") written over each other in Spanish. Eventually, the 'P' was reduced to a vertical line.\n\nAnother possibility is that it derives from the British notation 8/ for eight shilling, referring to the Spanish 8 reales coin ("piece of eight"), which later became the USA dollar. Others derive it from the Portuguese Cifrão sign &#92;mathrm{S}&#92;!&#92;!&#92;!&#92;Vert.\nStill another explanation holds that the dollar sign is derived from (or at least inspired by) the mint mark on Spanish colonial silver coins ("real" or "piece of eight") that were minted in Potosí (in present day Bolivia). The mint mark was composed of the letters "PTSI" superimposed on one another, and bears an undeniable resemblance to the single-stroke dollar sign (see picture). The Potosí mine is generally accepted as having been the largest single silver strike in history, and silver coins minted in Potosí would have been in common use in colonial America.\n\nEarliest usage wrote the sign with a single vertical stroke. For some time, the double-stroke symbol &#92;mathrm{S}&#92;!&#92;!&#92;!&#92;Vert was common, but is now again falling out of use\n*******************************\nIt is sometimes said that the dollar sign's origin is a narrow\n"U" superimposed over a wide "S", "U.S." being short for "United\nStates."  This is wrong, and the correct explanation also tells why\nthe $ sign is used both for dollars and for pesos in various\ncountries.  The explanation is not widely known, maybe because not\nmany people would think to look for it in a book called A History\nof Mathematical Notations, Volume II: Notations Mainly in Higher\nMathematics by Florian Cajori (published in 1929 and reprinted in\n1952, by Open Court Press).  Cajori acknowledges the "U.S." theory\nand a number of others, but, after examining many 18th-century\nmanuscripts, finds that there is simply no evidence to support those\ntheories.\n\n   Spanish pesos were also called piastres, Spanish dollars, and\npieces of eight.  (The piece of eight was so called because its\nvalue was eight reales.  Some countries made one-real coins by\nslicing pieces of eight into eight sectors; the still-current U.S.\nslang "two bits" for a quarter of a dollar may refer to this,\nalthough "bit" denoting any small coin -- as in "threepenny bit" --\nwas already in use.)  The coins were circulated in many parts of the\nworld, much as U.S. dollars are today.  The coins were so well known\nthat, when the U.S. got around to issuing its own silver coinage\n(U.S. dollar coins first appeared in 1794), it simply replicated the\nSpanish unit's weight and hence value, and even one of its names; so\nit was natural to use the same symbol.\n\n   Since three of the four names given above for the Spanish dollar\nstart with p (and pluralize with s), it was natural for\nabbreviations like p and ps to be used.  Sometimes ps was written\n    s\nas P  -- P with a superscript s.  The superscript was a common way\nof rendering abbreviated endings of words -- we see vestiges of it\ntoday in the way some people write "10th".  Now,

It's from the Count of Monte Christo by Baroness D'Orcay (not sure of the spelling here)so maybe if you look that up on the net - I think it was 'All the money to buy Italy' - but i'm not 100% sure. Chapter 18 of the book tings a bell - Good Luck!

I assume you mean French francs.\nThey are no longer used since January 2002 when they were replaced by euros in most countries in Europe.\n\nAnyway 1 euro is 6.55957 francs and today 1 euro was 1.32 $ \nso 9,000 francs would be 1372 euro so 1811 dollars.

the word dollar was in use in the English language as slang or mis-pronunciation for the thaler (which was german slang for a coin minted in a certain valley or 'thal' ) for about 200 years before the American Revolution.  Many quotes in the plays of Shakespeare refer to 'dollars' as money.
