Description

The listing, BELGIUM 1944 2 FRANCS ALLIED OCCUPATION ISSUE 19mm ZINC coin has ended.

These coins are the greatest anomaly in modern United States coinage history. During World War II, as the Americans & Allies advanced into Belgium, it was decided the USA would create the first coin of "Liberation". These Franc coins of 1944 were minted in Philadelphia on the blanks of U.S. zinc coated steel Lincoln pennies. These zinc & steel Lincoln pennies were produced only in 1943 in order to preserve copper for the war effort.
