<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 101867, member: 4298&quot;]Hello</p><p><br /></p><p>France used 100 francs silver coins until 2001, before the euro arrived. They where 31 mm diameter, 15 gr of 90% silver. The melt value was approximativly 15 francs. Despite the difference between melt and face value, they where massively hoarded, and you could hardly find one in circulation. Worse : most people would look at you as an alien when you wanted to spend one. I think it would be now very difficult to have such coins in circulation. But they where great : you feel having &quot;something&quot; with that in your pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cucumbor[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
