Well found Kev.

The French coin is interesting as I think its a German issue of occupied France.

Here comes the science:

"During the occupation of France, the franc was a satellite currency of the reichsmark. The coins were changed, with the words "travail, famille, patrie" (work, family, fatherland) replacing the Republican triad "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Freedom Equality Brotherhood) and the symbol of the Vichy regime added."

Cheers
Neil
