1944 Italy 100 Lire Cento
According to the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, the value of this
note in uncirculated condition is US$50, which is just a guide because the catalog is known to be wildly off the mark in some valuations. The best way to find its true value is to offer it for sale on eBay with good scans so collectors can judge the condition and bid accordingly.

1944 Italy 100 Lire Cento
Hello,
the note you mean is one of those issued during the Interim Government of Italy in the Fall of 1944. There are 3 types according to the issuing printer. Type 1) series from A1 till Z125 Printer IPS of Rome (Istituto Poligrafico di Stato); Type 2) series from A126 till H209 and from A249 till P250 Printer Istituto Geografico De Agostini on behalf of IPS; Type 3) series from I209 till Z248 Printer Officine Staderini di Roma on behalf of IPS. In pure UNC the first 2 types range around 140 euro on retail market but if you are selling them to a dealer, do not expect as much. The last type (the rarest) ranges around 200 euro on retail market in UNC. Replacement series a Type 1) from W1 till W118 which is usually sold in UNC for 250 euro, Type 2) from W201 till W316 which is usually sold in UNC for 350 euro, Type 3) from W141 till W180 which is usually sold in UNC for 450 euro. It exist also a not issued variant of this note with larger sizes. It is not known in private hands and it is only available in the archives of the Bank of Italy. This last was meant to be in line with the US Dollar but the substitution of the currency never occurred in Italy as it happened in many European Countries after the end of WWII. This is the reason why it looked for many years so small when compared to other western currencies. Germany, France, Greece, Hungary, Austria, etc, all changed and revalued their pre-war currencies and in some cases even renamed them. Italy never did. Nevertheless, old Italian paper money, like the French one, is very difficult to get in UNC and that's why it is so expensive. I hope this clarification helps. Best wishes, Dr. Giovanni C. Pettinaro (IBNS LM-166, LANSA 1173). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Pettinaro Bros.
