....I should stress that I am contending that the Pound is essentially a direct descendant of the Roman Librum, whereas the Italian Lira in its last incarnation, whilst named after earlier currencies, was only introduced about 140 years ago, and as such its pedigree, like its purchasing power, was somewhat less robust, and our use of Lsd predated it!
