<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1771138, member: 39&quot;]As for money being &quot;devalued&quot;, that is a question of perspective, I think. Guess the term is used here in the sense of a redemption period coming to an end. Well, for French franc notes, those deadlines were announced ten years in advance. Not exactly &quot;suddenly&quot; in my opinion - YMMV.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The very same 10-yr period applied to notes when in January 2002 the franc was replaced by the euro cash - people knew from the beginning that they had until mid-Feb 2012 to get them redeemed. (For coins it was three years.) Such deadlines are not a French peculiarity, by the way. They are pretty normal in many European countries including Finland, Switzerland (no currency changeover involved) or the Netherlands for example.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
