∙ 13y agoBecause France was one of the 11 European States which adopted the Euro in 1999. Six more have since joined, and the actual notes and coins have been in circulation since 2002. This means that a coin can be taken out of the bank in France and spent in Greece, and the change you receive may well come from Germany.
17 countries are official members of the Eurozone, but another six use the Euro as their currency without having a say in the central banking. This is not surprising, as the countries in question are Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City, Andorra, Kosovo and Montenegro.
The United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden are members of the European Union but not of the Eurozon, and retain their own currencies.

What is the Monetary of France?
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.
