Hello everyone. I am currently working on mintage tables for a different coin community. I found that some sources report France 1c/2c 2002 as being issued for circulation with extremely low mintages (110.000 for 1c 2002[1][2], 9.000 for 2c 2002[1]). Looking around, I found some sources/forum posts discussing that these coins were accidentally issued in starter kits[3][4][5] but nothing that stems from an official source. Furthermore, I do not know where these 9.000 / 110.000 figures come from. Does anyone have more information (preferably with sources!) about these coins?
