Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, the countries that make up the former French Equatorial Africa use the Central African CFA Franc. This currency is issued by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and is used by six countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 CFA francs, each with designs representing the cultural and natural diversity of the region.
Old banknotes and relevant facts
Prior to the adoption of the CFA Franc, each country had its own currency. For example, Gabon used the Gabonese Franc until 1945. An important milestone in the notafilia of the region was the creation of the BEAC in 1972, which unified the issuance of banknotes for member countries. Another significant event was the incorporation of Equatorial Guinea into the CFA Franc in 1985, which marked the expansion of this currency in the region. The old banknotes of these countries are now collector's items that reflect the rich history and political changes in Equatorial Africa.
