France does an interesting thing in that the mint issues &quot;gold and silver at face&quot; from time to time.

(The Austrian Mint is the only one in the euro area that does this bullion thing.) Their latest project, from what I have read, is a 1/25 oz gold piece with a €4 nominal value ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
