No. Copper-nickel. These circulated regularly until France adopted the euro in 2002. If your coin is from circulation it's worth less than a quarter.
Correction: French francs from 1960-2000 are .999 nickel and as of 8/8/2012, nickel is trading at just over double the price of copper per pound, of which a U.S. quarter is made, so the melt value of a 1960 franc is over double the value of a quarter.

∙ 15y agoMadagascar did not produce a 1 Franc coin in 1960. The 1943 Franc coin was made of bronze, and the coin produced in 1948 and 1958 was of aluminum. The Franc coin produced intermintently between 1965 and 1993 (under the name "Malagasy Republic") was made of stainless steel. France (the former colonizer of Madagascar) did issue a 1 Franc coin in 1960, which I suppose may have circulated in Madagascar, but it was made of nickel.
