	Franc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The franc was originally a French gold coin of 3.87 g minted in 1360 on the occasion of the release of King John II ("the good"), held by the English since his capture at the Battle of Poitiers four years earlier.
		The French franc was the national currency of France from 1360 until 1641, and from 1795 until 2002.
		Though abolished as a legal coin by Louis XIII in 1641 in favor of the gold louis and silver écu, the term franc continued to be used in common parlance for the livre tournois.

	CFA franc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CFA franc was created on December 26, 1945, along with the CFP franc.
		When France ratified the Bretton Woods Agreement in December 1945, the French franc was devalued in order to set a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar.
		This 0.70 FRF premium is the consequence of the creation of the CFA franc which spared the French African colonies the devaluation of December 1945 (before December 1945, 1 local franc in these colonies was worth 1 French franc).

		France was also given the right of veto whenever the special account in which these funds were kept was overdrawn.
		The suffering of the losers, is compounded by rising import prices, high interest rates that characterise the franc zone, and the skyrocketing level of unemployment worsened by spending controls and the massive lay-offs in the private and public sectors under the stringent conditions attached to the various structural adjustment programmes.
		However, when this convertibility was nullified by France’s decision in 1993 to impose exchange control on the movements of the CFA franc, the unanimous decision of the francophone leaders to follow the French franc in the euro is incomprehensible.

		For companies in CFA countries trading with companies in the European countries sharing the euro with France, the shift in the currency peg from the French franc to the euro would also mean lower commercial and currency transaction costs.
		Many CFA franc zone mechanisms were simply the "monetary dimension of the colonial agreement," he said, noting that "exchange rate policies played a major role in [France's] domination of its colonies."

		Although the two CFA francs are legal tender only in their respective regions, each region's central bank maintains the same parity of its CFA franc against the French franc and capital can move freely between the two regions.

		OURTEEN OF THE former West African French colonies use the CFA franc, whose exchange rate is pegged to the French franc, as a common currency.
		The scheme was quite useful to France, which it helped to resist the tremors of the economic crises of the 1930s; it was also extremely welcome by general de Gaulle when he sought means to finance his resistance and achieved it with the gold production of the African colonies.

		The prospective shift of the peg of the CFA franc from the French franc to the euro raises a number of questions.
		The potential economic consequences on the CFA franc countries could be positive over the longer term, given the general expectation that the creation of the EMU would likely result in a stable euro, low inflation and interest rates, and stronger-than-otherwise output growth in EMU countries.
		The main risk is a potential weakening of the external competitiveness of the CFA franc countries, arising from possible complications in the EMU process and the likelihood that the euro might be unduly strong and volatile.
