Monnaie (French pronunciation: [mɔnɛ] ⓘ) is a commune in the Indre-et-Loire department in central France. The town is part of the Touraine-Est Vallées community of communes, which facilitates regional cooperation on various administrative and developmental matters.
During the Franco-Prussian War, the Battle of Monnaie took place on 20 December 1870. In this engagement, a Hanover division of the Imperial German Army, commanded by General Schwarzkoppen, defeated French forces led by General Ferry Pisani, subsequently leading to the German occupation of Tours.[3]
