	Franc Information
		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 again from 1795 until 1999 (franc coins and notes were legal tender 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.

		To that end, the Guinean Government launched, in 1986, a vast programme for the development and modernization of agriculture with the active participation of the private sector and the support of its main bilateral and multilateral development partners.
