What is the Monetary of France?

Answer 1

It is the Euro. It used to be the French franc,but as with most countries in the European Union, they switched to the Euro in 2002; by 2005, the coins could no longer be used or traded for Euros. Paper francs are still OK, but only till 2012, when the transition to the Euro is expected to be complete. It's been long enough that most shops deal in Euros and francs are getting more and more rare, because they'll have no value soon (except as collector's items, not as currency). Hope that helps. No critique intended, but question should be 'what is the monetary unit of France'?...no harm or argument, just saying that for your benefit and for the benefit of the community...good luck.

Answer 2

It used to be the French franc, but, as with most countries in the EU, it is now the Euro. France switched from the franc to the Euro in January of 2002, but it takes time for a country to transition their currency from one monetary unit to the other, so people could exchange coinage until 2005, and paper francs can currently still be used and/or exchanged for Euros, but in 2012 (mid-February), the transition should be complete, and the monetary unit of France will be exclusively the Euro.
