A privately issued fantasy or commemorative piece, not legal tender. France has used the euro since 2002 and has issued no franc-denominated banknotes through Banque de France since then. A polymer substrate with a watermark on a 2020-dated French franc note signals a novelty or souvenir item — polymer and watermark rarely coexist in legitimate modern production, and no authorized French issuing authority has produced franc notes in this century.
