Project Description

The Euro (€ or EURO) is the official currency used in Italy.

There are seven denominations of the banknote: €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500.
Their design was inspired by the architectural styles of seven periods in the history of European art.

The set of coins are issued in eight denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, €1 and €2.
The euro coins have a common European side showing the denomination and a national side depicting an image chosen by the country of issue.

There are several exchange offices and banks which can be found in airports and in the city centre.

You can take money out from ATMs, which are widespread here in Italy. The Italian word for an ATM is Bancomat.

The Italian ATMs do not charge any fee if you withdraw money with a debit card, the only fee you will pay is the one charged by your own bank and even with that fee, it is usually less than you will pay at a Currency Exchange.

In Italy you are not allowed to pay cash for a sum equivalent to, or greater than, € 1,000.00 (one thousand euros).
