Shirley when you next visit France, you use them to pay for items and complain vociferously in your best English when the trader refuses to accept them?
Pay for something and when you get a puzzled look, boisterously say "vive la révolution!" and take your goods and walk straight out.rodericb said:

The till receipt still has the FF/Euro exchange rate on it as of 01/01/1992, so whilst completely meaningless in 2024 I think you could construct an argument for acceptance, otherwise what's the point of having the rate there?
Yes I've seen receipts with the FF shown along with the Euro. Perhaps just nostalgia as I still occasionally convert (new) pence to shillings - and don't like the answer! 21st Century Man said:

The FRF/EUR rate is still the same in 2024 - 6.55957 (although you haven't been able to change them for over 12 years)It's a denomination of the euro, in the same way as 100 pennies make a pound..
