<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FredJB, post: 5199854, member: 73005&quot;]The US 20 cent coin was an experimental attempt to see if we could mesh our coins with the standards of the &quot;Latin Monetary Union&quot;.&nbsp; The LMU was an effort to standardize the coinage of several countries based on the French franc so that all coins could be accepted in any of the member countries without going through a currency exchange.&nbsp; The US 20 cent coin would have been equal to the French 1 franc, Italian 1 lira etc.&nbsp; Was a good idea until many countries started issuing too much paper money (cheating).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
