<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lazarus1956, post: 808669, member: 22134&quot;]Greetings!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Referring to your post in which you said (of coins from the Paris Mint):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&quot;Some of the commemorative coins also have a mark which identifies these as coins minted during the first year of the Euro. This mark consists of the Greek letter alpha and the year 2002.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I am trying to locate information about a series of 7 coins made by the Paris Mint in 2002. This series was for 7 countries that were former French colonies (Central Africa, Rwanda, West Africa, Djibouti, Guinea, Commores, and Polynesia/New Caledonia). The coins were of different denomination in francs and reportedly were struck by mistake with the awl &quot;2002 first year of the Euro&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If anyone can provide information leading to the location or purchase of these coins, I would be eternally grateful.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best regards,</p><p>&quot;Lazarus&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
