About Belgian Franc Exchange
The Belgian Franc (BEF) was the official currency of Belgium until the country adopted the Euro in 2002. We accept all denominations of Belgian Franc banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes from across the currency’s long history.
Current Belgian Franc Banknotes
Belgium replaced the Franc with the Euro over two decades ago, meaning there are no current Belgian Franc banknotes in circulation. All Belgian Franc notes are now withdrawn and can be exchanged with us — see the section below for details.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we accept the full range of withdrawn Belgian Franc banknotes, including everything from wartime issues to the final series printed before the Euro transition. This includes notable notes such as the 10,000 Franc note featuring King Albert and Queen Paola and the 1,000 Franc Constant Permeke note, as well as much earlier issues going back to the First World War era. We also accept damaged notes provided they are at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect the condition. If you have old French Francs or Luxembourg Francs alongside your Belgian notes, we can exchange those too.
Belgian Franc Coins
We also accept Belgian Franc coins, including commemorative and collector pieces such as the 500 Franc Five Kings coin and smaller everyday denominations like the 50 Centimes Miner coin — all are welcome. Because coins require additional handling and sorting, the exchange rate offered is typically slightly lower than for banknotes.
