Hello all: First time posting a question. I am trying to obtain either CFP 5 Franc coins at face value plus shipping and handling. I am looking into buying a significant quantity. Here is what I have done already... 1. Contacted the Paris Mint = No they don't do this. 2. Sent off a letter to the Bank of Tahiti = so far no response. If anyone else has any ideas, I would welcome them. Thank you. Fiftypee :goofer:
It is the currency used in "French Polynesia" and "New Caledonia" that I know of. CFP stands for "Communauté financière Pacific". I believe one franc is worth a fraction of a Euro cent.
Do you remember that woman who made Picasso's Sunflower picture in coins. I would like to do some other theme (undecided), but in that same line of thought. The picture is pretty amazing using various coins. I am sure you can find it online somewhere.
My wife is into Van Gogh's starry night picture. We have a large staircase that has about 25 starry night pictures on it. Prints and original oil, water color, chalk and pencil drawings. Cool looking. Olmanjon
