Unfortunately the French Franc is no longer in circulation and therefore an accurate currency conversion to American dollars is not possible.
Coins were freely exchangeable until 17 February 2005 at Banque de France. Though some commercial banks could still perform the service, they were not required to offer this service for free after the transition period in 2001. The banks converted the francs to Euros (rounded to the nearest eurocent) at the official fixed rate of 6.55957 francs for one Euro. Banknotes are officially convertible up to 17 February 2012
The franc was a currency of France. Along with the Spanish peseta, it was also a de facto currency used in Andorra (which had no national currency with legal tender). Between 1360 and 1641, it was the name of coins worth one livre tournois and it remained in common parlance as a term for this amount of money. It was re-introduced (in decimal form) in 1795 and remained the national currency until the introduction of the Euro in 1999 for accounting purposes and 2002 for coins and banknotes.
