1945 French 1 Franc!

Here's the best example of this coin I own. I've got three, all are the same year and mint mark. As is expected of wartime coinage (especially European) this coin is aluminum and low value. It's also about quarter sized. I wonder what this would have looked like in America. If it was aluminum, in those times, it would probably be this big or bigger. Keep in mind those days were before aluminum was a well known and widely used metal and even today it goes for about $0.50/lb. Lucky me this coin has numismatic value and is worth $0.50 without the other 99.99% of the pound.
