The currency of France before 2002 was the French Franc. The franc was abolished in 2002 and replaced by the Euro at the rate of €1 = 6.55957 francs. The subdivision of the franc was the centime, 1 franc = 100 centimes. The name 'centime' is also used in French for the subdivision of the Euro, €1 = 100 centimes.
The former French monetary unit equal to 100 centimes is known as the franc.

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 If you're referring to French or Belgian francs, they were withdrawn from circulation in 2002 when the euro was introduced so it's difficult to make a comparison to the current USD.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