<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 2715843, member: 12789&quot;]The 100FF coin did see limited circulation in France before the adoption of the Euro.&nbsp; Everytime I bought them in cash windows at banks the person selling them to me kindly reminded me that after the Euro was circulated that the coins would be demonetized, but I didn&#039;t care.&nbsp; I was buying them for my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly in Germany it was possible to find 10DM coins from time to time, and I even spent a few of them - I remember spending some in Munich that were for the Olympics in 1972 and an older lady explaining in German that I should keep them instead of spending them.&nbsp; 10 DM coins were the only silver coins I have ever spent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last country that had coins in silver that really did see daily circulation has to be Mexico when they issued the $10 peso coins in 1993.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
