    Banknote & Workd Paper Money Collection - Congo. Currency: centime, franc

    During Belgian colonial rule, currency denominated in centimes and francs was issued for use in Congo. These francs were equal in value to the Belgian franc. From 1916, the Congolese franc also circulated in Rwanda and Burundi. From 1952, the currency was issued bearing the names Belgian Congo (either "Congo Belge" or "Belgische Congo") and "Ruanda-Urundi".

    In 1960, Rwanda and Burundi adopted their own franc, whilst, between 1960 and 1963, Katanga also issued its own franc.

    The franc remained Congo's currency after independence until 1967, when the zaïre was introduced. The franc was re-established in 1997, replacing the new zaïre.
