Banknotes in Italy
Italy used the lira as its national currency from 1861 until 2002, when it adopted the euro. The lira banknotes featured Italian historical and artistic figures, such as Marco Polo and Raphael. Today, Italy uses the euro banknotes common to the Eurozone, which depict European architecture from different eras. An important milestone in Italian notafilia was the introduction of the "Biglietto di Stato" in 1866, an emergency bill issued by the government during a financial crisis.
Banknotes in the United States
U.S. banknotes have maintained a relatively constant design since 1929, with portraits of presidents and founding fathers. Currently, denominations of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 are in circulation. A significant event in the history of U.S. banknotes was the introduction of the motto "In God We Trust" in 1957. Notable older banknotes include "Silver Certificates" and "Gold Certificates," which were redeemable for precious metals until the mid-20th century. In recent years, advanced security measures have been implemented, such as security threads and color-changing inks.
