| Aanvullende informatie |
Algeria's colonial administration faced a acute small-change shortage during World War I as the French metropole hoarded and melted copper for munitions. Chambers of commerce across French North Africa were authorized to issue emergency token coinage — monnaie de nécessité — to keep local commerce functioning. The Alger chamber's aluminium pieces circulated well into the early 1920s before being withdrawn as conventional supply normalized.
