bigjarofwasps Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Not entirely sure why the Republic of Chad, 5000 Franc coins have been used. But the designs are stunning, it will be interesting to see, what the demand for these coins is like with collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Are you sure those are real designs? Why would they have them in English instead of French? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There being produced by an American company. https://firstcoincompany.com Also I believe this coins are in fact minted in the US on behalf of Chad, along the same lines as the Congolese gorillas and Somalian elephants.

Chris Boonzaier Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I wonder if they will ever make it to Tchad? I am thinking this company may have bought the rights to make an "official currency" ... but for collectors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, because these coins are not minted in the country of origin, they are not something that I'd consider collecting. Although the designs added by First Coin Company, in my opinion are very striking. There is very little information about this coin on the internet and as you say I suspect that there would be very little demand for them in Chad?
