Question by : Information on a 1941 French Coin?
I have a French coin from 1941 that I know nothing about. I would like some information on it and to know if it is worth anything. The front says Repvbliqve Francaise and the back says Liberte-Ecalite Fraternite 50 Gentimes 1941. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it worth anything?
Instead of 50 Gentimes it says 50 Centimes. It is hard to read in the lighting I am in and the C’s look like G’s so please forgive my earlier mistake.

50 False French Friends
Article by Charles Larson
Native English speakers often have enough problems when learning the French language as it is. There are the complex grammatical rules, the obstinate pronunciation problems, abstruse accents, confounding gender patterns and those fickle French adjectives, just to name a few of the challenges to overcome.
