About the Burundian Franc
The Burundian franc has been the country's currency since 1960, when Burundi (then still tied to Rwanda in the Belgian-administered territory of Ruanda-Urundi) split from the shared Rwanda-Burundi franc ahead of independence in 1962. It has never been part of the CFA franc system used by France's former colonies. Read the full Burundian Franc history, denominations & FAQ →
