French Currency
In France, the Franc and Centime used to be the currency used.
In 1999, countries in the European Union began to use the Euro as currency.
The euro was created because a single currency offers many advantages and benefits over the previous situation where each Member State had its own currency.
For example, when traveling from country to country, it was necessary to exchange currency.
The euro means closer co-operation among Member States of the European Union for a stable currency and economy to benefit all.
