<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2678939, member: 39&quot;]Seems they were issued by (or on behalf of) a British company called &quot;International Currency Bureau&quot;. I found a few more at the website of the <a href="http://webapps.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/explorer/index.php?do=Search&amp;qu=adam%20and%20eve&amp;fi=%7B%22term%22%3A%7B%22Maker.asterm%22%3A%22International+Currency+Bureau%22%7D%7D" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://webapps.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/explorer/index.php?do=Search&amp;qu=adam%20and%20eve&amp;fi=%7B%22term%22%3A%7B%22Maker.asterm%22%3A%22International+Currency+Bureau%22%7D%7D" rel="nofollow">Fitzwilliam Museum</a>. As I wrote, however, none of these were legal tender.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Belgian ones, issued between 1987 and 1998, were demonetized when the euro started on 1 Jan 1999. Also, France had some ECU coins, but those were dual denomination (FRF-XEU) pieces. The Isle of Man also issued a few ECU pieces; no idea what their status was. All others were either medals, or temporary local issues, e.g. for some Europe Day or Week in some city. The latter could at least be spent at some participating businesses and redeemed later. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
