Does anybody collect coins from French Indo China? This one caught my eye on eBay and I was intrigued by the design (or lack thereof). Just curious to know if anybody collects in this area.

    I collect the 20th century centimes. I just bought the 1923-A, one of the semi-key centimes, in the Heritage sale.

    I don't collect Indochina, but I like a lot of their stuff.

    That one I normally would not like, due to its "lack thereof" (a design, that is), but y'know, it's interesting, in a minimalist way.

    Some of the FIC coins have elegant, beautiful designs, especially the Piastres. Also an interesting part of Southeast Asian history IMHO. JamminJ was collecting these for a while, but he's not seen very often these days.

    I like the design for its "elegance in simplicity"....
