200 lire is/was worth......
Todays its worth virtually 0.
In 1957, 200 lire was worth a dime U.S. Some cowboy hat, the boy is going to get for a dime.
I had a chance to travel in Italy, and it was crazy paying for dinner in a nice restaurant with a 100,000 lire note (52$), keep in mind this was 1969.
I traveled with a eurail pass, and every time you changed countries out came the old bills, and in came the currency of the new country. A tip for travelers, you get a better price using the home countries currency, though for convenience its easier to just use U.S. This was before credit cards.
Just saw the kids hat. No way he was able to get that for a dime, or 200 lire.
