Assuming you have a French coin (it'll have Republique Francaise on it), very little. At the time that France retired francs and centimes in favor of euros, your coin was worth around 4 cents.
about 40 dollars in good condition.
You didn't provide the coin's date, so assuming its date is after 1960, you have a standard circulation only worth about 2.5 cents. Centimes are part of the old currency system that was replaced by the euro in 2002. There were 100 centimes in a franc, and just prior to the euro a franc was worth about 13¢ U.S. Thus 20 centimes would be one-fifth of that.
Unless it's uncirculated, about a nickel. 20 centimes is 1/5 of an old franc, which was worth about 15 to 20 cents before France switched to the euro in 2002.
The denomination is centimes, just like it's spelled on the coin.This was one of the smallest coins in circulation up till 2002, when France switched to the euro. Its value is only a couple of cents.
