<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 8095054, member: 78719&quot;]My belief but I can not prove is the FM coins were sent to Central Banks and then these coins were paid out randomly, possibly in the mix with RAM or RM coins. They possibly were set aside on occasion as well, and probably many different circumstances depending on the country.</p><p>These coins appear to have been put in bags and have accordingly &quot;bag marks&quot;. In some countries the inflation rate was so high that they really weren&#039;t and never had a chance to be spent (eg. Guyana or Jamaica).&nbsp; The larger coins generally languished but occasionally become available - some of them are VERY scarce.</p><p><br /></p><p>It should be that you might find some matte 1977 FM coins like&nbsp; the Cook Islands you mentioned. BTW, do you have any doubles of those? The question I had was if you had seen any 1978 or later mattes, because other than the &quot;satinish&quot; 1984 Liberia coins I have not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
