The Franc was the old standard of currencey in France up until it was replaced by the Euro in 1999.

The Franc replaced the Livre in 1360 AD. The Franc was decimalized in 1795 during the French Revolution.

The Livre was the Currency standard estblished by Charlemagne in the 8th century to replace Roman coinage which was still in use at the time.
