Standard monetary unit of France replaced by the euro (5)

I believe the answer is:

franc

(Other definitions for franc that I've seen before include "money Euro replaced" , "European currency until the end of 2001" , "Swiss coin" , "Ex-Gallic coin" , "Unit of money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
