Best Answer

Belgium currently uses the euro as its currency, but before that it used what we call francs. However, the country has two official languages: Wallonian, which is pretty much the same as French, and Flemish, which is similar to Dutch. The word for franc is the same in French as it is in English, but in Flemish it is spelled with a "k".
