Since 2002 France has used the euro; euro coins don't contain any silver.
From the end of WWII to 2002, a few franc-denominated coins contained silver:
5 FF, 83.5% silver, 1960 to 1970
10 FF, 90% silver, 1965 to 1974
50 FF, 90% silver, 1974 to 1980
100 FF, 90% silver, 1982 to 2002 (very limited circulation)
The Deutsche Mark is not currently in use in Germany at this time since its replacement by the Euro. Most coins made in Germany did not contain silver, though the Vereinsthaler contained 16 2/3 grams of pure silver.
Yes, quite a few french coins are made of silver. After 1960, only certain specially minted coins are silver. These are prized by collectors.
The 1960 1 franc coin from France is not silver, they are nickel, but the 1960 5 franc coin is 80% silver.
These coins weighed 12 grams and were 83.5% silver, so they contain slightly more than 10 gm of silver.
None. The coins are made of nickel.
There is no silver in this coin. Despite its silver appearance, it is actually composed of nickel.
Katangese franc was created in 1960.
Tunisian franc ended in 1960.
It is a common date and worth about $5.25 in silver content.
Hey, I have the same coin and I know that a 1960 franc is worth a quarter so im guessing that a 1947 franc is worth around 70 cents? 110.448.000 coins were struck in 1947, which puts your valuation wright ! For your info : in 1960 there were 406.375.000 coins struck...
No. Copper-nickel. These circulated regularly until France adopted the euro in 2002. If your coin is from circulation it's worth less than a quarter. Correction: French francs from 1960-2000 are .999 nickel and as of 8/8/2012, nickel is trading at just over double the price of copper per pound, of which a U.S. quarter is made, so the melt value of a 1960 franc is over double the value of a quarter.
All Franklin half dollars are 90% silver, 10% copper.
The coin is not "all silver" its 90% silver and 10% copper. The value is about 3 bucks just for the silver content.
Most likely not. You did not specify a country of origin, but most countries completely ended circulating silver coinage by the late 1960s with a few exceptions of coins with very high face values.
Louis xiii stopped the minting in 1641MoreFrance's monetary system has undergone a lot of changes due to wars and the rise and fall of various government systems. As a result silver has been removed and added to coins several times. > Silver 5-franc coins were discontinued in 1868> Production of other silver coins was suspended in 1920> 10F and 20F silver coins were reintroduced in 1929> Silver coinage again ended during WWIIThe Franc was revalued in 1960, with 1 New Franc = 100 old francs.> Silver 5NF coins were issued that year and discontinued in 1970> Silver 10NF coins were issued in 1965 and discontinued in 1974From 1974 to 2002 all French coins were issued in base metals. In 2002 they were replaced by euro coins.
1 U.S. dollar = 1.11080009 Swiss francs However currency constantly changes. Google is useful in the way you can type in something such as '1 USD to Swiss francs' and it will convert it for you.
That's Roosevelt, not "Roseavelt" It can't be a half dollar either, because FDR's picture is on the dime. If you have a 1960 Roosevelt dime it's worth about $1 for its silver content. If you have a 1960 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN half dollar it's worth about $5 for its silver content.
