But the French government has supposed that this is a provisional problem. They decided to make a coins from bronze (as the provisional way for a stabilization of their economy). They planned to exchange all of a bronze coins on a silver coins of similar face values in future. The caption "Bon Pour" was the garantee that this bronze coin is equal to a silver coin with the similar face value. </p><p>And that is why a coins with the such caption are not a tokens but normal coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
