The Franc is the former monetary unit of France, introduced by King John II in 1360. This currency was replaced by the Euro in 1999(non cash transactions) and in 2002(all transactions). How much is your franc depends on what type of franc coin you have. If it's a very old issue, then it's worth some money to the numismatic community. And that you need to explore. Else if your franc is a modern circulating issue, the type used just before the intro of Euro, then it's no longer legal tender and obsolete. Worth some money if in uncirculated condition, and again, only to the coin collecting community. 1 French Franc was equivalent to about US$0.20 in foreign exchange. Liberté, égalité, fraternité, French for "Liberty, equality, fraternity (brotherhood)", is the motto of the French Republic, and is a typical example of a tripartite motto.
