Equivalent, or actually the same? I looked up that fact, and the book
said "Italian lira". This book has been known to be wrong before, but
I had been under the impression that San Marino had signed a monetary
union treaty with Italy, effectively making the Italian lira the same currency
as San Marino's official currency. Argentina, FWIW, had wanted to do
the same with the US dollar some several months back.
