I repeat here part of my RCSD post of 02 June 2002....
==================================================
....
The current (slightly tweaked for simplicity by me)
exchange rate is:

1 Euro = 16 scudi = 192 Tari = 3840 Grani

Thus:

* 1 Scudo = 6.25 Euro Cents =
* 1 Taro *= 0.52 Euro Cents

* * *Those are some pretty divergent numbers - 1 Scudo might be worth 6
Eurocents or it might be 25 Eurocents ...
* * *And if you believe this site, with 5 Scudi = 4 grams of 90% pure
gold, that works out to 1 Scudo = roughly US $20. *I'm guessing there
are more than a couple of different Scudi out there.

* * *Whatever - I'll go with what Sassone printed in their catalogue.

Ryan: *You cannot set an exchange rate today, based on he precious
metal content of a coin made over a hundred years ago or more.

For example, I would LOVE to buy US $20 Gold coins for $20 today.
However the price of gold is about 25 times higher now than then.

Please check Sassone for a note. *I have been told that they had one
that gave the equivalent pegged to the Italian Lira.
(now converted to Euros of course)

ADDENDUM

The rate previously used by Sassone was 2 Grani = 1 Lira.
Therefore the precise rate , at conversion, for a Euro would be :
2000 Lire (4000 Grani) = Euro 1.033

As per Sassone 2003, they stated 1 scudo = €0.2487.
