Talk:CFP franc

Notes issued by the IEOM
Prior to my edit, the article says the IEOM first issued notes in 1967. However, my search indicates 1969. Can anyone double check?

Exchange
Currently it's about 100 FCP to the dollar (US). This will, of course, change as the Euro and USD change in value. The Jade Knight 19:46, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Currency codes
I seem to understand that the FRF currency code only refers to the new franc in use from 1960 and to the introduction of the euro, but in this article the code is also used for the old franc.

I think there is a mistake in: Before the French regulated the currency on Tahiti, French Polynesia, traders often used the Chilean dollar. Chile has never used the dollar (only peso and escudo

Chilean dollar?

 * Wouldn't it be more likely to be the Spanish real/piece of eight or the U.S.A. dollar?, which were used exstensively in the 1800's! Enlil Ninlil 04:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Rename to "Pacific Franc"
The French call it this, shouldn't we? Pacific franc give a better indication where the currency is used. — Blue-Haired Lawyer 16:01, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

historic exchanges
the Article states:


 * 1) September 21, 1949 to December 31, 1959 - Fixed exchange rate with the French franc at 1 XPF = 5.50 FRF
 * 2) January 1, 1960 to December 31, 1998 - Fixed exchange rate with the French franc at 1 XPF = 0.055 FRF (January 1, 1960: 100 'old' francs became 1 'new' franc)
 * 3) January 1, 1999 onward - Fixed exchange rate with the euro at 1,000 XPF = 8.38 euro (January 1, 1999: euro replaced FRF at the rate of 6.55957 FRF for 1 euro)

I have doubts with 1960-1998... Shouldn't that be 550 FRF? Now 1 old (XPF?) franc == 100 new, contradicting the explanation. Also, the EUR exchange doesn't make sense now at all, if the rates have been fixed all the time. effeietsanders 23:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

there is something wrong with Mathematics
"1,000 XPF = 8.38 EUR or 1 EUR ≈ 119.332 XPF" I guess dot sould be at the beginning Asterisks (talk) 13:25, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
