Interesting fact
The 10 Centimes (Elbeuf) 1921 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in France, specifically during the Franco-Belgian currency union, which aimed to stabilize the currency and economy of both countries after World War I. The use of aluminum in the coin's minting was a cost-saving measure, as it was a cheaper material than traditional metals like copper or silver. Despite its humble composition, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
