A former police commissioner in Italy has discovered "a treasure" of 245 million and 218 thousand lire in a drawer in his late brother's house.
The joyous news of the found money turned into great disappointment for the police commissioner in Rome, as the lire can no longer be converted into the European currency.
The banknotes of various denominations were hidden in the bottom of a wardrobe drawer in the apartment that former police commissioner Giuseppe Antonio Bagnato inherited from his brother.
In total, Bagnato found 2059 banknotes worth one hundred thousand lire, 630 worth fifty thousand lire, 557 worth ten thousand lire, 298 worth five thousand lire, 126 worth two thousand lire and 506 worth one thousand lire.
Although it would be worth 126 thousand euros, his attempts since 2019 to convert liras into euros have failed since the Italian lira went out of circulation in 2002.
As provided by the rules and decisions of the Supreme Court, since 2016 the branches of the Bank of Italy have converted the lira only by having a letter of recommendation for their exchange dated from December 6, 2011 to February 28, 2012, even specifying the amount.
"It's like having junk," said Giuseppe, who explained that his brother was a big saver.
"My brother had never told me that he had this money, much less that he had hidden it in that drawer. He lived alone and was a big saver, I don't know why he didn't deposit them in the bank, or why he didn't convert them into euros during that time", he emphasized.
