Interesting fact
The 1000 Francs CFA coin from the Republic of the Congo, issued in 1997 to commemorate the FIFA World Cup 1998, features an error in its design. The coin was minted with a mistake in the French phrase "Coupe du Monde de la FIFA," which appears on the coin as "Coupe du Monde de la FIFE." This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
