( * ) Necessity coins issued from the 1st G.M., were used to replace the divisional coins in non-ferrous metal which had disappeared. The FYP company, which registered the patent, had the idea of placing stamps - from 5 to 35 centimes - in protective aluminium capsules stamped with the company name of the customer. Many of these capsules are extremely rare, the public having extracted the stamps to use them as soon as the small change needed for everyday commerce reappeared.
