1944 First Issue France Allied Military Currency 2 Francs Note P# 114b, Block #2 Grades Choice AU/BU Slider. The AM-Franc, or "flag ticket" franc, was a currency issued by the United States for use in Allied-occupied France in the wake of the Battle of Normandy. With the swift take-over of sovereignty by General Charles de Gaulle, who considered the US occupation franc as “counterfeit money”, the currency rapidly faded out of use in favour of the pre-war French franc.
