The Lithuanian litas was the currency of Lithuania, until January 1 2015, when it was replaced by the euro. It was divided into 100 centų/centas. The litas was first introduced on October 2 1922 after World War I, when Lithuania declared independence and was reintroduced on June 25 1993, following a period of currency exchange from the ruble to the litas with the temporary talonas then in place.
