Hard to imagine you would find anything like that on recent coins from any of the CFA franc countries. Politically the CFA franc is a disputed matter in the BCEAO and BEAC countries though, as it &quot;perpetuates&quot; an economic and monetary link that these days may not make much sense any more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, a &quot;coin&quot; issued by or in the name of Equatorial Guinea honoring Swiss chocolate is worse in my opinion. Roughly the same level as those guitar coins &quot;from&quot; Somalia ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
