  • Support. The standard way of displaying currency names. – AxSkov (T) 08:50, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Why do we even need a poll on this? All the others were moved without polls. Am I missing something? ナイトスタリオン…ㇳ–ㇰ 10:10, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
An adminstrator has to make the move if the redirect has a history of more than one edit. Philip Baird Shearer 02:34, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Thank you. ナイトスタリオン…ㇳ–ㇰ 08:48, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

I've moved the article and corrected the only double redirect; there are still plenty of articles pointing to a redirect, so if anyone would like to go through those... --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

This article has very few pictures compared to the articles on many other European currencies. Can I request that someone either add some pictures or set up a French coins and French banknotes articles to link to?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:France 03.gif

Image:France 03.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World War I

  • "The outbreak of World War I caused France to leave the gold standard of the LMU. The war severely undermined the franc's strength, as war expenditure, inflation and postwar reconstruction, financed partly through the printing of ever more money, reduced the franc's purchasing power by 70% from 1915 to 1920 and a further 43% from 1922 to 1926. After a brief return to the gold standard (1928 to 1936) the currency was allowed to resume its slide, until it was worth in 1959 less than a fortieth of its 1934 value."

This paragraph is unclear. Did the return to the gold standard cause a revaluation of the franc? If so, by how much? How does its 1934 value compare with its 1915, 1922, 1928 or 1936 value? Scolaire 15:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
