Until they were replaced by the Euro in 2001, 1 French Franc contained 100 centimes.
Assuming you have a French coin (it'll have Republique Francaise on it), very little. At the time that France retired francs and centimes in favor of euros, your coin was worth around 4 cents.
France did not use pennies, only francs and centimes. Please post a new question with the coin's denomination.
S
circulated from 10 to 20 dollars
The denomination is centimes, just like it's spelled on the coin.This was one of the smallest coins in circulation up till 2002, when France switched to the euro. Its value is only a couple of cents.
You didn't provide the coin's date, so assuming its date is after 1960, you have a standard circulation only worth about 2.5 cents. Centimes are part of the old currency system that was replaced by the euro in 2002. There were 100 centimes in a franc, and just prior to the euro a franc was worth about 13¢ U.S. Thus 20 centimes would be one-fifth of that.
Unless it's uncirculated, about a nickel. 20 centimes is 1/5 of an old franc, which was worth about 15 to 20 cents before France switched to the euro in 2002.
That motto indicates your coin is from France. Assuming its denomination is somewhere between 10 centimes and 5 francs it was a common circulation coin until France adopted the euro in 2002, and is only worth a small amount, less than $1.
The former French monetary unit equal to 100 centimes is known as the franc.
100 centimes were equal to one franc
Assuming your coin is from France, it's no longer in use because France switched to the euro in 2002. At that time the coin was worth only 4 or 5 US cents.
it can go from 1500-1000 depending quality
