On the territory of France, there are two types of penny units: the French Pacific franc and the euro. Let's try to get to know each other, deyut insults to a single penny, de better change the currency exchange, and also know a little about this trip.
French Pacific Franc
The name of the currency of France has been respected since the end of the 14th century and until the fierce 2002. From that moment on, the official currency of France became the euro, but in some overseas Pacific territories, at the moment, the French franc continues its use.
The adventure of the franc
This penny loneliness of France took away such a name after the permission from the fullness of King John-2 at the hour of the Hundred War. The currency was vikoristovuvali and as a vikup to the English. One Pacific franc equates to ten decims or one hundred centimes. Rest in French translation means a hundredth part of chogos. Sentim, having spent its function as a nominal coin, is practically not victorious anywhere, but such a currency is not officially charged.

Ask an expertIn the middle of the 20th century, the French franc was officially used in the economic life of the country of France.
During the war period, such a currency was considered unstable, so the authorities tried to tie the franc to the US dollar, which took a stable camp in the Pacific regions. After 5 years, the Pacific currency will stabilize and the exchange rate will be 100 francs for 2 US dollars. After 2 more years, the order of France, having adopted a decision and recognized it with a legal document, recognized the Bank of Indo-China, allowing all its updates in the emissia policy in the French cities in Oceania, but it was less formal. Indeed, the bank continued its work in this region until the very end of the 20th century, if the creations of the Emisian Institute of French Overseas Territories. At the moment of creation and hour of work, a series of banknotes and coins were issued, as if they were in common use and contagion.
At the same time, a lot of subjects in the Pacific territories of France win over banknotes of one size with a different denomination: 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 francs. Coins take part in turnover - 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 francs.
EURO (currency designation: €; bank code: EUR) is the official penny unit of the country of the European Union (EU), located in general on the territory of 15 powers, including the "Eurozone" (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Greece, Germany , Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain). Also, the European victories are still in 9 countries of the world, 7 of them are rebuying in Europe. In this manner, the central currency is greater than 320 million euros. Varying territories that win currencies, oriented to the euro exchange rate, may be 500 million people in the whole world to lie in the euro. With a turnover of 610 billion euros from the month of 2006, the euro is the currency with the largest total amount of cooking in the world, in front of the US dollar.
In 1999, several financial markets were promoted to the euro as a national currency, and on September 1, 2002, banknotes and coins were launched into circulation. The euro has replaced the European currency unit (ECU) in the past one to one.
The foundations of Frankfurt The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Eurosystem (which are formed from the central banks of the countries of the Eurozone) carry out such operations with euros. As an independent central bank, the ECB has the right to blame for its monetary policy. The Eurosystem takes part in the issuance of banknotes and coins, as well as its distribution in all countries, and in the robotic systems of the European Union.
Although all the countries of the European Union (EU) can be accepted before the European Union, even though it will stink with the penny pennies and credits, not all members of the European Union have decided to accept this currency. Usі powers, yakі came to the ЄС until the rise of ceremoniality 1993. Maastricht treaty, goiter'yazalisya priymat єvro zgіdno s exchange rate.

Sweden decided to switch to the euro after the results of the 2003 referendum, but it missed the chance of adopting the euro, which did not meet the membership criteria. Before that, three micropowers of Europe (the Vatican, Monaco and San Marino), even though they changed from the European Union, adopted the euro as the single currency of the country-participant. Andorra, Chornogoriya and Kosovo praised the euro unilaterally, even though they did not enter into the EU warehouse.
coins
Euros are added up to 100 cents (sometimes called eurocents, especially for the current currency in the US cents, or the largest currency in the neighboring country). All euro coins that are exchanged for obigu (including commemorative coins with a denomination of €2), however, have a side that shows the denomination (varty) from the designations of the first 15 countries of the EC. From 2007 or 2008 (deposit from the country, as it issued a coin) replace the “old” card with a map of Europe, on the image of the country, as it did not reach the EU, so Norway. Coins to the national side, with special images, chosen by the country, as if it issued a coin. Euro coins from any country can be freely conquered by all powers, as the euro was praised.
Euro coins are issued in denominations of €2, €1, €0.50, €0.20, €0.10, €0.05, €0.02 and €0.01. In the Netherlands and Finland, according to the law, all operations for cooking are rounded up to five cents, so that the difference is €0.02, and €0.01
The €2 commemorative coins were released from the changes in the design of the national side of the coin - from the link with the events held in Greece during the summer Olympic Games. Qi coins of two euros are legal payment in the entire territory of the Eurozone. Coins of a different denomination were also issued, but were not assigned to the ubiquitous minting. Coins issued later can only be legally minted on the territory of the country-country.

Banknotes
All euro banknotes can have the same side design for the skin denomination. Banknotes are issued in denominations of €500, €200, €100, €50, €20, €10, €5. Design of skin coverings with global themes of European architecture of different periods. From the front side of the banknote there is an image of a window or a gate, and from the back side - a bridge. It is noteworthy that these architectural objects are not true, so as not to provoke zeal and super-chek when choosing memorials of culture, as if they were depicted on banknotes. Old banknotes of senior value, such as €500, are not issued in some countries, although they are deprived of the legal payment order from the Eurozone.

Graphic image Euro
A special graphic euro sign (€) was designed based on the results of the public opinion experiment, selecting 2 options out of ten. And then the European Commission chose one of them as a residual option. The project, which has changed, was created by the Belgian Alain Bile. The official version of the creation of the euro sign is credited to Artur Eisenmenger, who, if he was a leading graphic designer of the EU, claims that he created this sign as a symbol of Europe.
Zgіtnoye with the KomiSіyu, the symbol of є “Combinatial Grezko Literi“ іpsylon ”, the meaning of the meaning of єvropyiko cyvs,“ e ”(vid of the words“ єvrop ”)
In addition, the European Commission has paid for the exact size of the euro logo from the assigned colors to the background of that very sign. Although the Komіsіya attacked itself on such a written symbol, more designers gave an understanding that they plan to create their own options.
Placement of a graphic image of the currency in all countries of their own. There are no official standards for the euro sign.
Another advantage of the opposite symbol in the result is that it is easy to type it on the keyboard, typing the capital letter "C", pressing the "proble" key, pressing the "equally" sign.
The only economical and penny space
History (1990 - today)
The global provisions for the euro in the European Union were established by the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 to create economic and financial unity. In order to switch to a new currency, the countries that enter the EC are not subject to strict criteria. So, for example, the country's budget deficit is not to blame for overestimating three hundred dollars per GDP, the cost factor is to blame for becoming less than 6 per cent per GDP, so the low rate of inflation and rates in the average hundred per cent of GDP may be expected. For the Maastricht Treaty, Great Britain and Denmark took away the freedom from the cob of a single financial space, which led to the creation of the euro.
Economies that took a part in the creation of the euro - Robert Mundell, Wim Duesenberg, Robert Tollison, Neil Dowling, Fred Arditty and Thomas Padoa-Schiopa (Macroeconomic theory, marvel below.)
Through the difference in national rates, all payments between the national currencies of Mali are carried out through exchanges in the euro. The exact number of currencies for the euro (with the exchange rates set at the time of the purchase of the euro) is right-handed.
The exchange rates were set by the Rada of the European Union, based on the market rate on December 31, 1998, so one euro equals one euro. (The European currency unit was the rozrahunka unit of the EC, the won was based on the national currencies of the participating countries; the euro was not an independent currency.) Global European favor 2866/98 (EC) dated December 31, 1998. set such exchange rates. The price could not have happened earlier, because at that time the currency was tied to the exchange rate of other currencies (especially the pound sterling).
In the past, the procedure for the residual replacement of drachmas in euros took place, but the shards of the same euros already dawned two fates. The exchange rate of the first eleven currencies was set for a couple of years before the introduction of the euro, for the Greek drachma wines were set a month earlier, for the sake of 1478/2000 (ЄС) on 19 chervnia 2000.
At night, on the 1st of September 1999, the introduction of the euro was introduced for unprepared rozrahunka (traveler's checks, electronic transfers, bank transactions and other). If the national currencies of the krai, which enter before the euro zone, ceased to use okremo, their exchange rates fixed one by one, practically robbing them with simple tenths of euros. So the euro became the replacement for the ecu. However, banknotes and coins of multiple currencies were forfeited as a legal payment order right up to the issuance of new banknotes and coins in 2002.
The period of change, at the beginning of an hour of old banknotes and coins were exchanged for euros, for about two months, until February 28, 2002. The official date of affixing the choice of national currencies as a legal payment security in our countries was different. Nimechchina became the most important land. On December 31, 2001, the stamp officially ceased to be victorious, although the exchange period was three months. February 28, 2002 - the date of the end of the change, if all national currencies are no longer legal payment methods in the countries of the Eurozone. However, after the official date, all currencies continued to be accepted in the sovereign central banks of the European countries with exchanges in many years or without exchanges, for example, in Austria, Germany, Ireland and Spain. The first coins that came into circulation were the Portuguese escudos, which were minted after December 31, 2002, in order for the banknotes to be exchanged until 2022.
Slovenia arrived before the European Union on September 1, 2007, then on September 1, 2008, Malta and Cyprus were delivered to the warehouse.

- Andorra, Chornogoria, the Republic of Kosovo, Akrotiri and Dekelia adopted the euro as the official currency of capital investment and penny transactions without participation in the European system of central banks and without the right to issue coins. Andorra has entered into the process of negotiating as much as possible about the release of pennies, just like it is with the micropower European powers.
- The currencies of many colonies of EU powers lie in euros. Among them are French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna (CFA franc), Cape Verde, Comoros and fourteen powers of Central and Western Africa (CFA franc). Marvel at the "Currency deposits in euros".

perspectives
Countries that entered the EU before 2004
From the entry of Greece in 2001 to the expansion of the EU in 2004. Denmark, Sweden and Great Britain were left as the only members of the EU, as they saved their national currency. The situation of three of the oldest participating countries was reviewed by the new members of the EC; they did not have a clear schedule for accepting the euro:
- Denmark voted out a few paragraphs of the Maastricht Treaty after the fact that they did not pass the referendum. 28 spring 2000 Denmark has one more referendum about the euro, which ended with a result of 53.2% of the votes against joining the Eurozone. Prote danski politicians to promote a new discussion of some controversial points. Until then, Denmark is orienting the krone exchange rate to euro (€1 = DKK 7.46038 ± 2.25%), the krona exchange rate remains under the control of the European economic capital. If Greenland and the Faroe Islands are not included before the European Union, the stench of the Danish krone (on the Faroe Islands is the Faroese krone) and that also lie in the EU.
- Sweden: Sweden wants to switch to the euro for the "Favor of 1994" if it suits the economic minds. If you want to abide the vicons, the krone never entered before EEC II, respecting the arrival of Sweden. 2003 the fate of the people's referendum, having come to the European Union, and Sweden does not plan to adopt the euro. ЄС having given a clear understanding that it is flattened on the eyes, respecting the position of Sweden and knowing Sweden "de facto", but there are no other countries that entered before the ЄС from 2004 to 2007.
- Great Britain withdrew its entry into the Eurozone under the Maastricht Treaty and may switch to the Euro. If you want to try to join the union, leading, scho economic minds to support us, (to give “five economic criteria”), the food chain was not blamed for the vote.
- Great Britain was forced to introduce the pound sterling from the EU (the front of the EU II) in the black middle (September 16, 1992) through the plutanina between the parity indicators and economic behavior, since the pound will not enter until the EU II.
The countries, yakі entered before the EU after 2004
Since 2008, nine more powers have joined the EU with their own currency; however, in all of these countries, the transition to the euro is for the sake of admission. Acts from these countries have already joined the mechanism for controlling the exchange rate of the European Economic Trade Union, EU II. The stench is planning to come to Eurozone in an offensive order (EEC III):
- September 1, 2009 - Slovak region
- September 1, 2010 - Lithuania
- September 1, 2011 - Estonia,
- September 1, 2012 or later - Bulgaria, Ukraine, Latvia, Czech Republic, Poland and Romania.
The entry of Lithuania and Estonia, plans for September 1, 2007, will be made due to high inflation rates in these countries. Some of these currencies have a floating exchange rate up to the euro, and the reshta was single-handedly pegged to the euro rate before joining to EU II. For reporter information, look at the article "Mechanism for controlling the exchange rate of the European Economic Trade Union, the exchange rate up to the euro and other articles about currencies."
The Czech Republic planned to enter the EU II as soon as in 2008 or 2009, but the authorities officially set the date before 2010, stating that the country could not meet the economic criteria of the earlier term. Narazi term extended until 2012.
Latvia was also planning to move to the Eurozone in 2008, but the indicators of inflation, which exceeded 11%, were brought to retirement, the country's oskolki do not respect the necessary demands for the sake of the rules. Now the order has officially postponed the date to 1 September 2012, in order to keep the head of the Central Bank of Latvia in mind that the real date of the next date is 2013.
The Minister of Finance of Poland, declaring that he was responsible for the fact that it would be "the wrong tactic" to allow Poland to enter the country.

Five additional notes about "Practical preparation for a further expansion of the Eurozone" was presented on April 16, 2007, leading to it, at the moment, only Cyprus, Malta (they introduced the euro in sichni), Slovakia (2009) and Romania ( 2014 p) was officially recognized as a constable. give the transition to the euro.
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia have already completed the design of the front side of their future coins.
The French franc is the national currency of France. Bula was in use from 1795 to 2002. The symbol is ₣.
At the same time, from the supply of the franc, a dozen penny rahunok came to Europe (1 franc = 10 desimіv = 100 centimes), that standard of gold and silver silver. It was assigned to the franc germinal in 1803, added up to 1:15.5 and became the base currency in the Latin Monetary Union. This union, having become the largest in Europe, having risen from 1865 to 1914 rіk i vplinuv on the reformation of penny systems rich krajn, zokrem, Russia.
Since 1939, having begun to form a new monetary union, this is how the franc zone is called. The exchange rates of the countries, which enter before the new, were tied to the franc (to the euro - since 2002). From 1974 to 1998, the franc was included up to five currencies (dollar, deutsche mark, yen, pound sterling, franc) of the International Monetary Fund, on the basis of which the SDR exchange rate was secured, - special rights of protection.
Frank came to replace the Parisian (9th-13th centuries, on the pivnochi lands until the 17th century) and the Turkish livres. Livr was divided into 20 soles (in the common "su") or 240 days. From the 17th century, even more coins were issued - gold louis dori. Luidor was first released for the reign of Louis XIII, vin important 6.751 grams of gold 917th standard. On the cob of the 18th century, the vaga luidora was increased to 8.158 grams, and then to 9.79. Coins were issued in 0.5, 2, 4, 8 and 10 louis d'or, the stench was worth 20 levs and ekus, equal to 5 levs.
Ecu (lat. “shield”) were carved in different watches like gold, and so were silver. Analogous to the etymology of the coins in Portugal and Spain were called "escudo", and in Italy "scudo", and also call them similar to the word "shield" in common language.
Su is the common name of the coin sіl, as the transition to the tenth system replaced the coin by 5 centimes. However, this tradition emerged among the people as a strong one, that 5 centimes more than two hundred years the French called “su” so, right up to the introduction of the euro into the country. That and today the word is getting used to the commonplace for the purpose of penny "dribnitsa".
The oldest coin of France, which was in use in the 14th - 18th centuries, was called a liard. Vaughn completed the 3rd day, in an hour Louis XV became the most popular French coin, as it was carved before the introduction of the tenth monetary system. The Parisian coinage was founded for King Charles the Fox, in 864 rotations.
In 1790, the roci in France were used to paper pennies, they were called asignats, in the troubled revolutionary hours of the stench, coins made of gold and srible were replaced. Vitrati rose in a row, which zmushuvalo yogo drukuvati daedals more than paper pennies. As a result, until 1795, the country became a bankrupt and was embarrassed to turn to win coins.
A new penny unit came to replace the livre - the franc. A coin with a face value of 1 franc weighed 5 grams out of a total weight of 4.5 grams. In 1803, the gold standard (“franc germinal”) of the franc equal to 0.2903 grams was established, and the deputy of the louis d’or rozpochavsya issue of golden napoleons.
Vtіm, the franc can be called the new currency of France to do it smartly. In different fates, for different rulers, gold and silver coins with a similar name were carved, for example, in 1360 roci - so the titles of gold "Kinny franc".
At the rock of the First World of Light, gold coins were replaced with banknotes, silver coins with aluminum bronze.
The exchange of paper francs for gold was recently announced in 1928. In 1933, France settled the Golden Block (Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands), and the countries of the goiter agreed to give mutual assistance with the method of saving the gold standard. Ale, the world economic crisis vibrated uncontrollably and until 1936 the Golden Block, like the gold standard, was liquidated.
Under the hour of another light war, the franc was tied to the Reichsmark. Coins were issued from the images of the coat of arms of the Vishist order. From 1944 to 1948, French banknotes were overcharged in the United States in denominations of 2 to 500 francs, then the country switched to the national currency.
The design of the war-torn French franc was destroyed with a lot of money, similar to the design of 1934-1940 years of release, but the coins were carved out of cheap aluminum. The financial camp of the country after the war had already been stolen, the franc was constantly appreciating. So, in 1944 the exchange rate of the dollar to the franc was 1:50, in 1958 it was 1:420.
In 1960, De Gaulle's order made a decision about carrying out a penny reform.
Old francs were exchanged for new ones at a ratio of 100:1. Old 1 and 2 francs were lost as coins, equivalent to 1 and 2 centimes, obviously. Inflation, however, incrementally appreciated the new franc, and in 1999, the change, at the time of the transition to the euro, was already 8 times less.
From the beginning of 1971, the country introduced a dependent currency market. March 1979, France moved to the European monetary system. On the rest of the banknotes of the French franc, prominent fiends of France were depicted:
- 20 francs - composer Claude Debussy;
- 50 francs - Exupery's writer and translator;
- 100 francs - artist Paul Cezanne;
- 200 francs - engineer Gustave Eiffel;
- 500 francs - physicists Pier and Marie Curie.
France became the first country in Europe, as a result of the transition to the euro. Vіn buv completions before the month of 2002 at the rate of 6.55957:1. Before the exchange, coins were taken until February 2005, and banknotes - until February 2012. In France, this day was called "the day of the funeral of the franc."
The design of the national side of euro coins of splitting on the basis of three traditionally formed types of French coins:
- 1, 2, 5 euro cents - an image of the national symbol of France, Marianne;
- 10, 20, 50 euros - image of the Siyatelnitsa;
- 1st and 2nd euros - an image of a stylized tree and the motto: "Freedom, equality, brotherhood."
On all euro coins there are 12 marks of the EC, the designation of France (RF) and the mint, the designations of the rіk karbuvannya.
France, like that other country of the Eurozone. issuing commemorative coins with a denomination of 2 euros, for example, is dedicated to the Rizky Treaty, 2007 issue.
Collectible euro coins have been issued since 2002 and are presented in different denominations and materials - silver, gold. Over ten years, over 350 such coins were minted.
