| Opmerkingen |
Allied Military Currency for Italy was produced under a joint Anglo-American program authorized ahead of the Sicily landings in July 1943. The U.S. Treasury and British Treasury shared responsibility for the scheme, but practical production fell almost entirely to American commercial printers. Forbes Lithograph in Boston handled portions of the lire series using offset lithography rather than intaglio — a cost-and-speed decision that gave the notes a distinctly flat, commercial appearance compared to prewar Banca d'Italia issues.
The Italian government was never consulted on the design or issuance. Rome formally objected to AMC currency after the armistice, viewing it as an inflationary instrument outside its control — which it was.
