Why after 1940 french coins were prepared very cheap metal?

Because France was fighting a losing battle against Germany and so metals were needed for the war effort. Copper and nickel were both very valuable materials and silver and gold would be used for international payments for things used for the war effort and so France used cheap metals that were less useful for the war effort such as iron, zinc and aluminum for their coins.
