The Florin is subdivided into 100 cents, and its symbol is often represented as “ƒ” or "Afl."

What is Congolese franc (CDF)

The Congolese franc (CDF) is the official currency of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a vast country located in Central Africa. The symbol for the Congolese franc is “FC” or “CDF.” One franc is divided into 100 makuta, although the makuta coins are no longer in circulation. The Congolese franc has experienced significant fluctuations and inflation over the years, primarily due to the DRC's political turmoil and economic instability.

The currency is managed by the Central Bank of the Congo, which issues banknotes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, and 10,000 francs. Due to historical economic challenges, the Congolese franc has often struggled to maintain a steady exchange rate against more stable currencies, and this can impact transactions conducted in the DRC.
