Coins of the Maltese lira former banknote. In 1988 a new coat of arms was adopted showing a heraldic representation of the Maltese flag, a mural crown and a wreath of olive and palm trees. The coin series of 1991 depicted the new coat of arms, but the reverse side remained the same. This series remained in use until 2007, being withdrawn in January 2008 upon the introduction of the Euro. They were demonetised in 2010. Coins of the Maltese lira Coins of the Maltese lira have been struck from when Malta adopted decimal currency in 1972, to 2007, after which Malta adopted the euro.
Decimal representation result follows from dividing all sides by formula_11. Some real numbers formula_13 have two infinite decimal representations. For example, the number 1 may be equally represented by 1.000... as by 0.999... (where the infinite sequences of trailing 0's or 9's, respectively, are represented by "..."). Conventionally, the decimal representation without trailing 9's is preferred. Moreover, in the "standard decimal representation" of formula_13, an infinite sequence of trailing 0's appearing after the decimal point is omitted, along with the decimal point itself, if formula_13 is an integer. Certain procedures for constructing the decimal expansion of formula_13 will avoid the problem of
