Maltese lira

The Maltese Lira, known in the Maltese language as the Lira Malti, is the currency of Malta. It was previously known as the Maltese Pound, which was on a par with the British pound sterling until the late 1960s, since when the Maltese Lira has traditionally been worth around £1.60 sterling.

Divided into 100 cents, the Lira (plural Liri) is abbreviated as LM, although the traditional £ sign may still be seen locally.
