Italy 2002 Euro Starter Kit

Description
Euro starter kits are packs of euro coins of all the eight denominations sealed in a plastic sachet. The kits' purpose was primarily to familiarise citizens of a nation joining the eurozone with their new currency. A further objective is to provide coins for retailers' cash registers well in advance of their respective €-Day. Usually, these kits are available from local banks some weeks before euro changeover.
Italy issued 30,000,000 starter kits. Each starter kit had a face value of €12.91, equivalent to 24,997.2457 ITL (Italian Lire), rounded to 25,000 ITL. There are two variations of these packs: one has text printed on the bag, whereas the other does not.
