As I was writing about centesimi I was thinking "I don't remember seeing any of these..." and you've reminded me why! I felt like a millionaire whenever I visited Italy. I'd assumed the Euro cents were called 'cents' in Italy but now I am better informed - thanks. Tribuno was also the name of Doge of Venice so I'll claim it's all part of my master plan.... ;-) Hi BigNemo and thanks for the kind words and comments.

I mean :-) Actually, in Italy we have centesimi (cents) again since the introduction of the Euro. Keep in mind that 1 Euro = 1936.27 Italian Lire (the old currency); according to Wikipedia, Centesimi of Italian Lira haven't been legal since 1924 ;-) The most important coins in the Republic of Venice were the Ducato (silver) and the Zecchino (gold) - I am pretty sure there were smaller coins but I don't know much about that :-) Did I say I love the comic? (p.s. the Tribuno was a magistrate in ancient Rome - so it's not a word you made up ;-) ) Hello, long time reader, never posted before, maybe because I couldn’t think of something to say – besides “BRAVO!” I mean :-)
