I am now terminally confused on French marks on euro coins. What I found in  my collection is:

Old map

  • 1999-2000 cornucopia/bee
  • 2001 cornucopia/horseshoe

New map

  • 2007 cornucopia/unidentified squibble
  • 2011 cornucopia/logo

I don't bother with coins issued only in sets. Can anyone tell me what the complete list would look like?

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Here is a scan from the book.

Thanks, Gerhard. That helps, but I still need to find out if the coins they signed actually circulated or were available in sets only.

Those mintmaster signs can all be found on circulation coins. Don't know whether each mark can be found on every circulating piece though; that would depend on the denomination. Here is an overview; just scroll down down to France: http://www.euro-mintage.com/

If the coin (fe 2E ) was only in BU folder is clear , you will not find it in circulation.

The info you need is all time there on the board: http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,372.30.html
Not only for France but all countries.

For the record, I haven't seen a single 2002-2003 heart coin yet. The others are no problem.

These are the privy marks not of the mintmasters but of the master engravers (heads of the engraving department).
