Helvetia is the national name for Switzerland. It's in Latin as a neutral term in a country that has four official languages.

You need to be more specific about the coin's design. I cannot find any information regarding a triple-dated franc from 1974. In any case, Swiss francs issued since 1968 are struck in copper-nickel and are worth only face value, about 85¢ U.S.

Why would you like to visit France?

I have visited Paris and i think that it's an absolutely amazing city. The Parisiens are all so involved with their culture and there is always something to do and see.

I went on exchange with my class for 4 weeks last year when i was in year 9 (2007) and it seriously was the time of my life and what made it even more special was the fact that i had my friends there to enjoy it with.

We went to the The Eiffel Tower (of course!!), le louvre, l'arc de triomphe, we walked down les champs-elysees, we went to montmartre and i can tell you now you really haven't experienced everything Paris has to offer until you've been there. We also went to the latin quarter which was sooo awesome....

we went to la musee d'orsay, la maison d'opera, and we took a boat ride down "La Seine" (**the boats are called "les bateaux-mouches".

We also took the metro for the first time ever. One thing we were warned about were the pick pocketers.=[ it was still an enjoyable experience though =]

We basically went everywhere. Seeing as we could all speak fluent French it really helped us to experience and become part of the french culture and way of life. Even though knowing french isn't essential to go to Paris/France it would help you a lot but i think that you can have just an enjoyable time as I did even if you don't know the language.

I really miss France and all my friends there but that just makes me even more excited about going back there next year.

I can't wait. =]

Anyone who is thinking of visiting Paris, all the places i have just talked about are a must go.

How many Statues of Liberty were made in France?

It was a gift from that nation to our nation.

The occasion of the gift was the 100th anniversary of the founding of America, which triggered a war with Britain.

Britain and France had long been enemies, so France was glad to see the USA fighting against Britain and they helped us fight against Britain too.

France gave us the Statute of Liberty to show 100 years of friendship and 100 years of opposing British colonialism and military domination of the world.

Who helped the patriots win in the revolutionary war?

The French contributed somewhat to the over throwing of the British in the colonies. Their reason was that if England was defeated they would be more vulnerable for an attack which never came. Something similar happened during the American Civil War when England aided the south so the war would continue longer and weaken both sides so the winner would be vulnerable for an attack which, again, didn't happen.

What kind of legal system does France use?

French law is based in some respects on Roman law and is codified. That means that, unlike in the U.S. or England, precedent is relatively unimportant. It's the codified 'rule-book' that really counts. The *basis* of French law dates from the Napoleonic period and is often referred to as the "Code Napoleon" though some of it wasn't fully collated till 1816.
