1944 France / 10 Francs

Thought so, Thanks for the information

As you can probably see, these were issued before the war.

Anyways, I really really like your 50fr note. I just love old French banknotes with their classic designs, and that note in such a *prestine!* condition really makes me attracted to it.

I have the last series classical notes with DeBussey and dela Tour, but they've seen better days.

Also, can anyone in France exchange these for me for Euros?

Actually, these notes are "old francs" - in 1960, France reformed the currency, making 100 old francs equal to one new one. So the face value of this note is equivalent to 50 pre-euro centimes. That's assuming these notes are still legal tender. Wikipedia says:



Either way, it's certainly worth more as a collectable than it's exchange value.

Actually your wartime ones are worth 50/1000 new franc, and so are the military ones. These would be considered collectable, and espescially the pre-war ones since they're both in such good condition.

Also I checked the BoF. Apparently because my De la Tour note was from the last series, it expired in 2005!


That means I need to exchange all my pre-euro notes before they expire!

It shows you the exchangeability and the rates for your notes.

So that means your banknotes (if you exchanged them before 2003 ) would be worth 18 eurocents...
