Usage notes
- Usually capitalized as Marco only as a male first name; lowercase marco is rare today outside historical or numismatic contexts.
- For modern money, use euro, dollaro, or lira in historical contexts; marco refers specifically to the mark currency.
- In Italian, currency names after numbers are usually unchanged: due marchi, not *marchis* or other English-style plurals.
