    The fake 'country' of Seborga has its own 'currency', the Luigini. Why did the ISO give this currency an official status (that is, an ISO code)?

    Question #74702. Asked by author. (Jan 18 07 6:06 PM)

    		Your guess is as good as mine. It should be noted that the "luigino" has no legal value outside of the, um, "principality" of Seborga.

    I think the ISO is simply reluctant to engage in combat with anyone:

    		By the way, by "ISO," do you mean the "World Bank Group"?

    		I am talking about the ISO 4217 Currency Code list.

    		Ah, fine. But my answer stands.
