Comments

There are Union des Commerçants de Béziers bills in denominations of 0.25, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 francs. There are one-franc bills overprinted with "X 1000 francs", and finally 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100-franc bills overprinted with "Anciens" (in black).

This overprint is surprising, as these bills circulated between 1920 and 1925, and the new francs were introduced on January 1, 1960.

The overprint indicates that the bills were still in circulation until 1960, or that someone had fun overprinting some of them, for what purpose?
