The Djibouti franc replaced the official currency of France, the French fra...nc, in 1977 upon independence. In 1952, the State Treasury took over the production of paper money. The change of French Somalilands name in 1967 to the French Territory of Afar and Issas was reflected on both the territorys coins and banknotes. In 1971 and 1973, the franc was revalued against the US dollar, first to 197.466 per dollar, then to 177.721 dollars, and the rate has remained the same ever since. Further changes in coin and banknote design followed independence in 1977.
