between 1854 and 2002, except from 1941 to 44. From 1944 to 2002,
its value was equal to that of the Belgian franc. The franc remained in
circulation until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. From 1999 to

but the euro did not circulate in physical form before 1 January 2002.

transactions could be conducted in euros and francs, but physical
