About the West African CFA Franc
The CFA franc was created in December 1945 as the currency of France's African colonies, tied to the French franc. After most West African nations gained independence in the early 1960s, they chose to retain a shared currency and formed the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) to manage it.
