<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 135337, member: 39&quot;]Hmm. The first French aluminum coins were issued in 1941 by the Vichy regime (État Français) and by the republic (République Française). And the &quot;Republican&quot; pieces were made until 1958/59 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there are alloys such as aluminum-bronze which consist of 90-95 percent copper and 5-10 percent aluminum. Such coins had indeed been issued in France and several other countries prior to WW2. But if hold such a coin in your hand, the feel and the look do not say &quot;aluminum&quot; at all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Even the &quot;Nordic Gold&quot; that our (€) current 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are made from has a 5% aluminum content.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
