Liberté, égalité, fraternité
During the Nazi occupation of France (1940–44), the franc was a satellite currency of the German Reichsmark. The exchange rate was 20 francs for 1 RM. The coins were changed, with the words "Travail, famille, patrie" (Work, Family, Fatherland) replacing the Republican triad "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), with the emblem of the Vichy regime added.
