Taken Amy Francs
In Change? Look Out

Look in your pocket, if you carry
any loose change, and see whether
you are toting around a twofranc
piece that you thought was a half dol
lar. If YOU are, you are out just
about 38 cents. Unless you can pass
it along. Several of these twofranc
s'lvcr pieces have been taken in
change here within the last few days
as half dollars, being similar in size
and appearance. Some one-franc
pieces are also said to have changed
hands as quarters.
The franc has a par value of ap-
nroximately 20 cents, making the
two-franc piece in normal times ac-
tually about 40 cents. At the pres
ent. the franc, according to latest
quotations, is worth COS cents, ow-
ing to depreciation of foreign ex-
changes. So YOU had better take a
look at your change.
