A 1996 Republique Francaise one half Franc is no longer in circulation and has no monetary value. It may have some value to collectors, but it would likely be minimal.
Simple answer: (probably) Nothing.Complex answer: The "Republique Francaise" is France, and the Franc was its old currency, before the euro was introduced. "Cent" means hundred in French, so it is an 100 Franc note. Unless the bill is very old (pre-1900 at least) or a misprint, it has no value anymore (In the former cases, the bill may have some numismatic value). In any case, it makes a nice keepsake or collector's item!
The 1912 gold 20 Francs coin from the French Third Republic features a design with "Republique Francaise" and a depiction of the "Angel Writing." These coins were minted with a composition of 90% gold and 10% copper. In good condition, they are sought after by both collectors and investors for their historic value and gold content.
The 1940 one franc coin from Republique Francaise is typically made of aluminum-bronze rather than copper. Its value can vary depending on its condition and any numismatic significance it may have. You may want to consult a coin dealer or collector for a more accurate appraisal.
