Oop! - what to do with old French money?

Hi!

I have recently unearthed an envelope containing about 800 francs of obsolete French money. That was worth around 80 until the cut off date after the introduction of the euro. I accept that the francs are probably worth precisely 0 now, but I'm just wondering if there are any channels still open whereby this cash could be exchanged for euros. Presumably the total value of euros introduced was related to the total values of the old national currencies. So somewhere out there, as it were, there are some euros that correspond to my francs. Does anyone know if it's still possible to change francs anywhere?

Cheers, Rick

I'm pretty sure you can still change francs in Post Offices in France. The exchange rate is fixed at 6.55957 francs per euro.

I was in the same situation with old Spanish money. I ended up giving it to charity.

If you haven't missed the money why not donate it to charity? I know British Airways collecst coins including the pre euro currency, and it all goes to a good cause
