They were made of an early form of plastic similar to Bakelite and have generally not aged well. Without careful flash lighting, the background has darkened so much that the text is often easy to miss. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s some more detail about why these were issued:</p><p><a href="https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2018/09/22/1-2-franc-n-a-a-f-i-token/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2018/09/22/1-2-franc-n-a-a-f-i-token/" rel="nofollow">https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2018/09/22/1-2-franc-n-a-a-f-i-token/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
