Before Belgium adopted the euro in 2002, the Belgian Franc (BEF) served as the nation’s official currency for more than a century.
Issued by the National Bank of Belgium, these banknotes featured beautifully detailed designs celebrating the country’s artists, monarchs, scientists, and architectural heritage.
Over the decades, multiple series were released, each reflecting Belgium’s cultural identity and evolving security standards.
Although Belgian Francs are no longer legal tender, many of these notes still retain redeemable value.
Older issues — from mid‑20th‑century designs to the final pre‑euro series — remain widely collected and continue to be exchanged today.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a broad range of outdated Belgian Franc notes, even if they are worn, from earlier series, or no longer commonly recognised.
If your specific note isn’t shown on our site, you’re welcome to get in touch — we may still be able to help.
Exchanging your BEF notes is simple and secure. Just enter the amount you wish to exchange into your wallet and proceed with the exchange, and we’ll handle everything quickly and efficiently.
