[QUOTE="Ag76, post: 3354192, member: 100584"]Indeed.

I'm also interested in how the collapse of the Bretton-Woods system led to the abandonment of silver coinage in most places. I'm trying to focus, to the extent feasible in my budget, on collecting the last date of silver coinage in each country. Love the coin too! The 1956 500 franc piece is on my wishlist.
