<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 2408060, member: 39"]Keep in mind that <i>monnaie</i> has several meanings. It primarily means <i>money</i> (a single coin would usually be une pièce de monnaie, or simply pièce) but also <i>mint</i>. The French mint is called Monnaie de Paris; the French version of the Canadian Mint's name is Monnaie Royale Canadienne, etc. So I guess the inscription means "souvenir of a visit to the booth of the mint" ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
