1963 French 20 Centimes!

Back on track with the series. Now we're on the $0.20 coins that many Americans are unfamiliar with. These 1/5 dollar coins are actually more preferred than the more American-friendly 1/4 dollar coins to the rest of the world. The Euro uses a 20 Euro Cent coin, England uses a 20 Pence coin, and almost every country has, at some point, had a 20 cent coin. Including America. These coins were made, hated, and phased out in a matter of years with very few being made. Almost like the Anthony dollar these coins were almost the same size as quarter and were often confused which added to the people's hate of them and the government's withdrawal of them. Today they are worth at least $100.00 in the lowest grade and hundreds of thousands in high grade. Now that I've gotten completely off track talking about American 20 cent coins and not about this French 20 cent coin, I'll start on the coin at hand. It's just like its newer, shinier, smaller, more attractive counterpart except it's older, duller, bigger, and less attractive. It's also worth $0.10 instead of the $0.05 the 5 centimes is worth.
