<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 396627, member: 9474&quot;]Bruce, I remember reading an arcticle about this in Coin World.&nbsp; So I did a search and this is what I found.&nbsp; In the June 23rd Issue, France is going to experiment over the next three years with eight denomenations of silver and gold in their circulating coinage.&nbsp; The article states that the face value of the coin would exceede the precious metal content.&nbsp; The three denominations proposed for circulation this year are the E5, E15 and E100 Euros.&nbsp; Based on the value of silver and gold at the time of the article, the E5 coin would contain .16 troy ounces of .500 silver or about $2.66 worth of silver. The E15 would contain .434 troy ounces of .900 silver or $7.22 worth of silver and the E100 coin 3.1 grams (0.99AGW) of .900 gold or $86.99 worth of gold.&nbsp; Next year they will come out with the E10, E25 and the E250 and in 2010 they will come out with an E50 and E500.&nbsp; The 2008 coins will be available to the public on Sept. 1.&nbsp; through the rest of the year.&nbsp; </p><p>The article has alot more info, but these were the basics of the article.&nbsp; That is going to very interesting how the public reacts to these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
