Title: Re: REDFORD COIN SHOW FINDS Post by: scottishmoney on September 27, 2010, 08:15:16 AM Off the top of my head I am thinking those were printed by E.A. Wright of Philadelphia. They were a fairly shortlived issue also as the French authorities didn't care too much for the notes as they didn't really have a familiar "French" look to them, being unicolour and all.

Guess who's going to Noumea next year? Not you, me, aye. Also going to Vanuatu. Hope to pick up some coins for anyone that wants, but will worry about that later. |
