superb notes. i like ex french collonies a lot( madagascar especially) and France also....
to bad that are so far away from europe and it is preety hard for me to get one.

We are next door to France so to speak and I have problems getting French notes, I dont know why but they are rather expensive

i had problems getting them also.. i must buy them from france directly.( and a strange thing, didn't found a collector to exchange). i i thing that are expensive in hi grade. but for a vf, you can find a lot of them. those notes circulated a lot.
but i love them... learned the frecnh to read them
