L’argent 6 L’euro, c’est plus facile ensemble. The euro in France The campaign motto The French government launched a huge publicity campaign for the euro in January 2001. Lise, a 13 year old teenager was the face of the campaign. Adverts appeared on the television, the radio and in the press. There was also a free telephone helpline and a website. On top of this, information was available in town halls and post offices. Social workers and volunteers were employed to help the elderly to get used to the idea of the euro. The euro was calculated to be equivalent to 6.559 57 francs. In order to help the French population convert between francs and euros, the government produced a reference guide comparing prices in the two currencies. 30 million copies of this guide were distributed by post.

L’argent 7 The look of the euro The euro became a reality in January 2002. 14.5 billion banknotes were printed in preparation for the changeover. By the 28th February 2002, most shops had stopped accepting any other currency. The front of the note shows windows and gateways, while the back features bridge designs. The euro notes come with a whole range of security features to prevent forgery including a hologram and a special security thread. More information about the government’s promotional campaign for the euro can be found at: http://www.euro.gouv.fr/campagne/gpublic.htm The notes have the same design throughout the ‘Euro zone’. However, the coins have a European front and a 'national' back. Each country decided which national symbols it wanted to show on the back of its coins. France chose Marianne, an image that symbolizes the spirit of the French republic.
