Interesting fact

The 2 Centimes coin from Poissy was part of a special series of coins issued by the Groupement de Commerçants (Merchants' Association) in 1978 to promote the use of the euro in France. The coin features the image of a stork, which is a symbol of the city of Poissy, and was designed by the French artist, Pierre-Yves Babelon. The coin was made of zinc and weighs 1.3 grams. It's a unique and interesting collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics or French history.
