Encyclopedic overview
The Congolese franc (French: franc congolais, code FC; Dutch: Congolese frank) is the currency of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the past, it was subdivided into 100 centimes. However, centimes no longer have a practical value and are no longer used. In April 2024, 2,800 francs was equivalent to one United States dollar (US$1).
