Added: An interesting (at least to me) story on how I got this coin. I was at CDG airport in the early '90s and struck up a conversation with a young man from Benin. We ended up trading pocket change as neither one of us had ever seen the other's country's money and even became pen pals for several years.

That is true. I believe he would not act that way in person. I'm not blaming online lack of etiquette, but it is a factor.

No it was not.

Additionally, it does not have N. unicornis represented on it.

From what I can see, I'm fairly certain he was suspended or banned outright.

I'm not saying he was lying. But some things can go left unsaid
