The French Banknotes, Samples, and School Banknotes category includes banknote specimens issued for demonstration, information, or training purposes.
It includes official sample banknotes, often marked with the word "SPECIMEN" or perforated, distributed to banks and financial institutions for familiarization before a new series is put into circulation.
Also present are school banknotes, used in education and financial literacy programs, reproducing the characteristics of authentic banknotes but clearly identified as having no fiduciary value.
