Small denomination coins were in short supply during and immediately after
WWI. Ivory Coast issued a series of three notes using postage stamps pasted on
cardboards. The denominations are .05 Franc on 5 Centimes, .10 Franc on 10
Centimes and .25 Franc on 25 Centimes. These notes, each 48mm x 34mm, are among
the world's smallest notes.

the French Community in 1958, and an independent republic in 1960. It is a member
of the monetary union of West African States. For a more detailed
