How much is 500 francs worth in US dollars worth?
Several countries used or currently use currency denominated in francs. If you're referring to French or Belgian francs, they were withdrawn from circulation in 2002 when the euro was introduced so it's difficult to make a comparison to the current USD. At that time the French franc was worth about 22¢ and the Belgian franc was worth about 2¢. If you're referring to Swiss francs, they're still in use. However exchange rates change every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately. While it's not normal WikiAnswers policy to say "use the internet", that's the best approach in this case. You can check a site such as www.xe.com, CNNMoney, etc. for the latest conversion factors.

Many countries use or formerly used francs as their currency and each one has a different exchange rate versus the US dollar. The two most important are: > Switzerland (CHF), still in use.

What is 1000 francs in American money?
Several countries use or once used various forms of the franc as their currency. The Swiss franc is worth about 86¢ as of mid-February 2009. France is perhaps best known for using the franc denomination but switched to the euro in 2002. At that time a French franc was worth about 20¢. If you're trying to convert 1000 old French francs to USD you're going to have some difficulty. There are a few major banks that may still be willing to exchange them but you'd need to do a lot of calling around. A few of the major French banks had redemption programs at one point, as well. In any case you're also going to probably take a hit on the conversion rate and service fees for an obsolete currency. It may still be worth it, though, considering the fact that the raw exchange value of 1000FF would have been about $200.

Is the french franc obsolete?
Yes it is. The official currency has been Euro since 2002. Oddly, though, French supermarkets still label the price in francs in small print after the Euro price - presumably to help people who still think in francs. Which is not much use to some of my former neighbours who still think in OLD francs. Hedleygb is right to precise the prices in Francs are still mentionned on the price tags. French had and still have difficulties, they need to compare with their former currency. One of the explanation is the complexity of change (1 € is worth 6,59 francs) and there are no "easy" mnemothechnic conversion tool, while the German Mark conversion is very near of one € for 2 marks which seems to be easier. France has known two changings of currency since WWII. What are called the Old French francs (les anciens francs) was replaced by the New franc in 1960 (the new franc was worth 100 Old francs). There are still people who think in Old Francs (generally old people). The task for them has been hardened with the adoption of the €uro.
