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 If you're referring to French or Belgian francs, they were withdrawn from circulation in 2002 when the euro was introduced so it's difficult to make a comparison to the current USD.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.
