Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 03/15/2008 06:09 am It's definitely not a coin, but what it is, I have no idea. It's got a French or French-inspired royal coat of arms on one side, and a very crude-looking Republican-style portrait on the other. I can't read any of the writing. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

valutarick Valued Member Netherlands 376 Posts	Posted 04/13/2008 6:04 pm French play-school money, dated somewhere in between 1898-1917, inspirated by the Dupuis-10 centimes coins. I have seen several of them at the fleamarket in Paris in the eighties, for a few francs each. Report this Post to the Staff
