Economic History | Belgium | After that, the BF will be withdrawn from circulation and can only be changed into Euros at the local offices of the National Bank of Belgium. (references) |
Belgium | On January 1, 1999, the definitive exchange rate between the Euro and the BF was established at BF 40.33. Belgium will gradually shift from the use of the BF to the use of the Euro as its currency by January 1, 2002. To minimize confusion the old BF currency and the new Euro will only overlap for a period of 2 months. (references) | |
