<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1760702, member: 39&quot;]The nouveau franc (1959-2001) 10 and 20 centimes pieces will even more confusing, hehe. &quot;Wait, they have precisely the same size and composition as those franc coins from the 1950s, and yet they say <i>centimes</i>!&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the Chambres de Commerce issues, well, they were notgeld or monnaie de nécessité issues (obviously by the chambers of commerce) that the government tolerated mostly because of the lack of coins at that time. The sizes (diameter) of those pieces were precisely the same as the regular 50c, 1F and 2F coins minted until 1920 - except that instead of silver they now were brass (or so) pieces. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
