<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2918168, member: 39&quot;]Those coins were minted, and started to circulate (mostly in Southern France and French Algeria), in 1945. At the same time, the provisional government - Gouvernement Provisoire de la République Française - started issuing the pre-occupation coins again, also dated 1944. Guess the Philadelphia minted pieces did not use the full country name because these 2 fr coins were minted &quot;for&quot; France, not &quot;by&quot; France ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
