Journées du Pat­rimoine 2011 : Money in French overseas départe­ments and territories

The Institut d’Emission des Départe­ments d’Outre-mer (IEDOM) and the Institut d’Emission d’Outre-mer (IEOM) presented an unpre­ced­ented exhib­ition on money in French overseas ter­rit­ories, during the “Journées du Pat­rimoine” (September 17^th and 18^th, 2011), in part­nership with the Min­istry in charge of overseas départe­ments and territories.

This exhib­ition, which also allows a better under­standing of the overseas col­lectiv­ities, was organized in the framework of “2011, Year of France’s overseas ter­rit­ories”. 23 paintings and repro­duc­tions of bank­notes were exposed, explaining 60 years of the mon­etary history of each region, with ref­erence to the his­torical context.

Vis­itors wan­dering around the stunning Hôtel de Mont­morin, have enjoyed another exhib­ition on innov­ation in overseas regions, organized by the Centre National de Doc­u­ment­ation Péd­ago­gique (CNDP).
