To my knowledge, the Franc was pegged at 1/25th the British pound, as was the pre-revolution livre, before it. And I'm pretty sure a Pound Sterling was a little bit under $5, so a US dollar would be about 5 francs, give or take. However, much has changed in the ~200 years since then, so even if you had the best inflation calculator for the US dollar since 1820, it would be off on the cost of so many products, it would be nigh useless. So this data really is only applicable, if you're trying to look at comparisons between 1820s french prices, and 1820s US prices.

Other coins, just in case

1 franc = 100 centimes, so 1 centeme = $0.002

20 francs = 1 Napoleon, so 1 Napoleon = $4

Pre-revolution coins (as they still got a fair amount of use, in that time)

1 franc = 1 livre, so 1 livre = $0.20

6 livre = 1 ecu, so 1 ecu = $1.20

4 ecus = 1 Louis d'or, so 1 Louis = $4.80

1 livre = 20 sol, (or sometimes "sou"), so 1 sol = $0.01

1 sol = 12 denier, so 1 denier = $0.00083333 (much rarer to be used for anything during this time)

What is the value of a 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 If you're referring to French or Belgian francs, they were withdrawn from circulation in 2002 when the euro was introduced so it's difficult to make a comparison to the current USD.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. However exchange rates change every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately. While it's not normal Wiki s policy to say "use the Internet", that's the best approach in this case. You can check a site such as www.xe.com, CNNMoney, etc. for the latest conversion factors.
