The US Occupation franc (Billet drapeau in french) was a currency emitted by the United States for use in a hypothetically Allied-occupied France in the wake of the Battle of Normandy. With the swift take-over of sovereignty by General De Gaulle, who considered the US occupation franc as “counterfeit money”, the currency rapidly faded out of use in favour of pre-war French franc.
