Allied Military Currency (AMC) banknotes issued during World War II. These were temporary paper currencies printed by the Allied powers and used in occupied or liberated European territories to stabilize local economies and pay troops. The United States and Great Britain prepared these currencies prior to their invasions of Europe. The Italian Lire banknotes were introduced following the Allied landings in Sicily in July 1943 to replace local Italian currency, while the Mark notes were put into circulation as Allied forces advanced into Germany in 1944.
