While the notes would lead you to believe these were a South Pacific colony, the actual location is a self-governing territorial overseas collectivity of France in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, located near the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.An archipelago of eight islands, St. Pierre and Miquelon is a vestige of the once-vast territory of New France.Its residents are French citizens; the collectivity elects its own deputy to the National Assembly and participates in senatorial and presidential elections. It covers 242 km2 (93 sq mi) of land and had a population of 6,008 as of the March 2016 census. The islands are in the Gulf of St. Lawrence near the entrance of Fortune Bay, which extends into the southwestern coast of Newfoundland, near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. St. Pierre is 19 km (12 mi) from Point May on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland and 3,819 km (2,373 mi) from Brest, the nearest city in Metropolitan France.The tiny Canadian Green Island lies 10 km (6 mi) east of Saint Pierre, roughly halfway to Point May. In 1960, Saint Pierre and Miquelon adopted the new franc, with 50 old francs = 1 new franc. Local banknotes were used until 1965, when the islands began using French currency along with Canadian currency. The islands continue to use both French and Canadian currencies, with the euro replacing the franc in 2002. Edit: I'm relisting this because I found a few extra notes in the same serial number set. I have added the additional notes to the set (please see the photos). Therefore I am selling these individually, for $40 each. If you wish to buy multiples, I will make those consecutive serial #s. If you purchase at least 4, I will include free shipping--I may have to simply refund you the cost of shipping once you've made paymentI would REALLY like to sell this set together and not split up the set, as the serial numbers are consecutive, but I understand the price would be quite high. When purchased, I will start with the first serial #
