How much is 5000cinq mille francs worth in the us?
Answer: About .76 euros
That was the conversion rate at the time France stopped using francs and adopted the euro as its currency. However, if the question refers to a 5-franc coin dated earlier than 1960, the situation is a lot more complex. France revalued the franc due to inflation, and older coins may be worth either very little if they're common circulation pieces or much more if they're scarcer collectibles.
Bottom line, if it's an older coin please post a new question with its date.
