Are francs worth more than u.s. dollars?

Question

Are francs worth more than u.s. dollars?

Answer 1

no....they use the euro now though i knew for awhile you could use francs or euros...... the franc was worth about 1/7 of a dollar when i last used them in late 2000

Answer 2

As noted the French franc was replaced by the Euro so is no longer in use.  However, the official exchange rate (used for old long-term contracts where prices are specified in francs) between the franc and the Euro is 6.55957 franc/Euro.  Using 1 Euro = 1.47 USD, this makes the franc worth about 22 cents.

There was also a Belgian franc which is pegged at 1 EUR= 40.3399 BEF making it worth about 4 US cents.  It also went away with the introduction of the Euro.

There is also the Swiss Franc (CHF) which is still in use.  1 USD is about 1.10 Swiss Francs.

There are a few other currencies named "franc" but those are the main ones.

Answer 3

Do you mean french francs? If so, there's no such thing. The french have the Euro now.

Right now it is roughly 1.47 dollars to 1 euro.
