Monetary history and relevant facts
Prior to the adoption of the euro, St. Pierre and Miquelon used the French franc. However, its monetary history is more complex. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, due to its proximity to Canada, the islands frequently used Canadian coins along with French coins. An important milestone in its numismatics was the issuance of local coins in 1948, when 1 and 2 franc pieces were minted specifically for the archipelago, becoming objects of great interest to collectors due to their rarity and uniqueness.
