AM-Franc

The "flag ticket" franc (French: Billet drapeau) 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.

gollark: I'm using the *same file*, served by `python3 -m http.server` and Warp's static file handling.
gollark: Okay, this is incredibly weird! Even when my server sends `audio/mp4` instead of `audio/m4a` in the headers, *Firefox still won't play it*!
gollark: WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, FIREFOX
gollark: Hmm, so now it doesn't like `audio/m4a` either?!
gollark: In retrospect, this may have been a poor choice, and hi.
