Hi Guys and Girls,

I remember reading a book once about a coin that was minted in the shape of a pringle's chip. You know the double curve shape.

Problem is I can't remember where I read about that coin.
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
Peter

Are you referring to France's "Ultimate Franc", released in 2001 it is bowed like a Pringles chip.

Un Ultime Franc is a gloriously beautiful coin. I've flipped a couple, and a third was a gift to a close friend which I buried with her because she liked it so much. Pretty sure that's what you're looking for. The curvature is subtle but can be inferred from the pics:
