Found: French currency from 1939 to 44.

You never know what you'll find in all the paper I go thru. Found some French Francs/currency in some books at work. They are not in great condition. Fair at best. You guys know if these have any value? Or should I just give them to the Grail Diary nut jobs at COW? LOL

Best Regards,
Jun

Vintage money eh? That?¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s cool! I?¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢m not sure on what it might be worth but I can say that it would be fun just to have something like that in a collection. I find old American coins where I work and I swap them out with my spare change. I found a 1904 Indian head penny once! I like old cash as well! It?¢‚Ç¨‚Ñ¢s even harder to come by! My Mother has a 1935 Silver Certificate dollar bill and it is in really good shape. But, I think you should take the Francs to be appraised and see what they might be worth. You never know

Cheers,

I enjoy collecting pre-1950s currency as well. When I'm going somewhere in full retro finery I like to have appropriate coinage in my pockets.

They might actually be worth something. After WWII, the French currency was devalued. Even in the Sixties, you can hear "old francs" mentioned or discussion about whether money is "ancien regime" or not.

All this talk of old franks is making me rethink what I had for lunch.
