What does FRANC mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A unit of currency formerly used in France and still used today in Switzerland and several other countries.
The franc began as the currency of France, first minted in the fourteenth century and later revived after the French Revolution, and for two centuries it was the coin and banknote that French shoppers carried in their pockets. France replaced the franc with the euro in 2002, but the name lives on because Switzerland, along with countries such as Rwanda and several West African nations, still counts its money in francs. Older French novels and films are full of prices quoted in francs, a small reminder of the currency's long run before the euro arrived.
