STEEL COINS FOR ITALY
Italian small coins Trill henceforth be glinted from a new patented nist-proot steel called “ acmoiutal instead or from nickel; The reasons given for the substitution are that mcke will not have to be imported and that other countries are also giving up its use as small change. In addition to being rust-proof, the new metal is claimed to be of higher lustre and the coins difficult to counterfeit (false o-lire coins are still surprisingly abundant, as were the 10 and 20-Hre pieces before their general withdrawal from circulation). The new coins will be put into circulation throughout the kingdom and the colonies on October 28, the seventeenth anniversary of the Fascist march on Rome.
