I'm travelling to Malta next week for a fortnight. I see on some websites
that there appear to be import restrictions on the amount of local currency
(Maltese Lira/Maltese Pound depending on who you ask) you can take in.

Are these still in force, and if so, how do they work in practical terms?
How are they enforced, for instance?

Anyone with any experiences?

TIA

These restrictions are almost never enforced anywhere.

But in any case, how did you manage to come by a stash of Maltese currency?
If you don't have it yet, then why not just use your ATM card there, saving
money and hassle?

It's very unlikely someone will ask you but the official limit is LM50 on
entry and LM25 on exit.
You aren't obliged to fill in any currency declaration or such things.

Maltese Pound is a free and fully convertible currency found at many
exchange offices in Europe, no problem to obtain it. But anyway there's no
problem to change foreign money in Malta,the exchange office at the airport
is open 24h and in addition there's plenty of ATMs in the streets.
