Several countries use or once used various forms of the franc as their currency. The Swiss franc is worth about 86¢ as of mid-February 2009. France is perhaps best known for using the franc denomination but switched to the euro in 2002. At that time a French franc was worth about 20¢.
If you're trying to convert 1000 old French francs to USD you're going to have some difficulty. There are a few major banks that may still be willing to exchange them but you'd need to do a lot of calling around. A few of the major French banks had redemption programs at one point, as well. In any case you're also going to probably take a hit on the conversion rate and service fees for an obsolete currency. It may still be worth it, though, considering the fact that the raw exchange value of 1000FF would have been about $200.
