\"Le franc CFA, la principale monnaie de ces pays, s’échange aujourd’hui encore au taux de 1 FF pour 100 FCFA. Demain, il faudra donc précisément 655,957 FCFA pour 1 euro. Après arrondi, cela donne 656 FCFA pour 1 euro. Pour le franc comorien, le taux est de 492 francs comoriens pour 1 euro. Il s’agit d’une simple opération de conversion, sans dépréciation de la monnaie.

CA = turnover, FCFA = CFA francs


Explanation:
CFA franc: The official 3 letter code is XOF. Use it if the official code is appropriate, but it's prettyopaque to anyone not in the know. I wouldn't use it here as it wasn't used in the original.
A downloadable complete list of currency codes is at:
