Exchange Belgian Franc banknotes
Until 2002 the official currency of Belgium was the Belgian franc. The franc was sub divided into 100 centimes. Belgium gained independence in 1832. At that time the Belgian Franc (BEF) was equal to the French Franc. When Belgium joined the Latin Monetary Union in 1865 (which already had France, Switzerland and Italy as members) they could freely exchange their currency with the other countries.
In 1946, when Germany occupied Belgium, the Franc was fixed against the Reichsmark at a rate of 1 Franc = 0.1 Reichsmark. It was in 1835 that Belgian franc notes were first issued. The denominations issued were 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 BEF notes. It wasn’t until 1851 that the National Bank of Belgium issued denominations of 50, 100, 500 and 1000 francs. In 1927 notes were issued as francs and belgas. In 2002 the franc was replaced by the euro and the banknotes were removed from circulation.
