In this video, I portray a few of my banknotes from France, representing figures that we all know. I hope you all enjoy this video. French franc bank notes became obsolete in 2002, when France joined the Eurozone. The exchange deadline for French francs expired in 2012, when all franc bills issued by the Paris-based Banque de France lost their monetary value. However, we give cash for demonetized pre-Euro French franc banknotes at a rate that reflects their numismatic (collector’s) value.
