idun Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Did, as we did need FF, as we were still using Francs until the actually € coinage came in. From 1999 when the value of the € to the FF had been decided everything had it's € value marked on it too. An overlap period.Then about 2? 3? years later we had our €'s issued and I seem to think that for some time the ff value was also shown. But in spite of what the government said...... everyone I knew believed that all prices had gone up, maybe just a fraction but money was not going as far.editYes Maz and Col, I missed your post, and you answered my doubt about the date when we started getting €'s actually issued..........my time is not really my own at the moment, as I start a post and then 'demands' are made on my time and I end up finishing it later, sometimes much later as I don't get back to my computer.

pomme Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 When I received my social charges intérêts moratoire calculation earlier this month, the spreadsheet used by the tax office still had a columns which contained the calculated interest in both French Francs and euro. The first year on the spreadsheet was 1993 and the annual rate then was over 10% (if I remember correctly, I'm on holiday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Interesting pomme and made me remember when we went to an open day at a local vauban style castle where there was much historical stuff from the local villages.The accounts for our village were there from, I think, the 1800's, and were in three columns with the heading:- £sd, much to my pleasure to see such a thing.
