<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 83739, member: 283&quot;]The French mint produces exceedingly nice coins these days, and these two are no exceptions. I am envious, but only up to a point. My problem with the French mint is that along with other prolific coin producting countries like Austria and the Isle of Man, they are really milking the collectors coins market for every eurocent they can possibly get.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason they are able to produce such fine coinage is due in the main part to the amount of practise they get. Lets face it, there is no shortage of `commemorative&#039; coins to choose from from that particular source. I&#039;m going to hold off for the `what Brigit Bardot had for breakfast 20 years ago today&#039; series. I&#039;m pretty sure that someone at La Monnaie will come up with the idea soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>That aside, these are still VERY nice coins. Almost photographic in nature and quality. All that practise is paying off!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
