Comments

Banknoty te zostały wydrukowane w USA i wyemitowane przez wojska alianckie podczas początkowych etapów wyzwalania Francji w 1944 roku. Nie zostały one zatwierdzone przez Rząd Tymczasowy Republiki Francuskiej, ale były akcept owane przez banki i do płacenia podatków. Większe nominały zostały zdemonetyzowane w czerwcu 1945 r., ale 2, 5 i 10 franków nie zostały zdemonetyzowane aż do wprowadzenia euro.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

These notes were printed in the U.S.A. and issued by the Allied military during the initial stages of the liberation of France in 1944. They were not approved by the Provisional Government of the French Republic but were accepted by banks and for payment of taxes. The larger denominations were demonetized in June 1945 but the 2, 5 and 10 francs were not demonetized until the introduction of the euro.
