Coins of West CFA franc - catalog with values

West African States (since 1958)

Franc CFA=100 centimes

The West African Economic and Monetary Union (before 1994, the West African Monetary Union) unites the former French colonies in West Africa. Eight of them ( Benin , Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau , Mali , Niger, Senegal, Togo ) use a single currency, the CFA franc (Communaute Financiere Africaine - African Financial Community). Coins began to be minted in 1960. A similar currency (but of a different design) is used by the countries of the former French Central Africa.
