Silver? 1960 1 Franc at the coinstar

[Coinstar magnet]

I picked up alittle clad plus a couple foreign coins today. The 1 Franc 1960 caught my eye...at first glance I thought "walking liberty quarter?"...And as I stood there looking at the coin someone came in to pour more coins so my timing was good...I looked up the 1 Franc online and it appeared to have some silver but the USD value had me confused...it appeared to be valuable but my hunch tells me probably not...any help is welcome... the Australian coin had some kind of creature on the back...two little eyes peeking I think.

Thanks for viewing!

Little value there I'm afraid. The French 1960 franc has two die varieties: either a small '0' in the date or a large one. Yours is the small variety and even in uncirculated condition only worth about 40 cents. The large '0' variety is less common and worth about $8 in uncirculated condition. Both were struck in nickel, with no silver content.

The Australian 5 cent is struck in cupro-nickel and also has little value. The animal depicted is a short-beaked spiny anteater (Tachyglossus aculeatus).
