Best Answer

At the time of the complete changeover to the euro on 1 January 2002, coins in circulation (some produced as recently as 2000) were:

  • 1 centime (~ 0.15 eurocents) stainless steel, rarely circulated (last production stopped around 1982 due to high production cost, and lack of demand due to its very low value).
  • 5 centimes (~ 0.76 eurocents) aluminium-bronze
  • 10 centimes (~ 1.5 eurocents) aluminium-bronze
  • 20 centimes (~ 3.05 eurocents) aluminium-bronze
  • ½ franc (~ 7.6 eurocents) nickel
  • 1 franc (~ 15.2 eurocents) nickel
  • 2 francs (~ 30.5 eurocents) nickel
  • 5 francs (~ 76 eurocents) nickel clad copper-nickel
  • 10 francs (~ €1.50) bimetallic
  • 20 francs (~ €3) trimetallic, rarer (produced for a short period before the euro, the banknote equivalent was much more frequently used)
  • 100 francs (~ €15) silver, rarely circulated (most often bought and offered as personal gifts, but rare in commercial transactions, now worth more than its face value).
