St. Pierre et Miquelon

The Territorial Collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is a group of small islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. The islands were colonized by France in 1814, and are still members of the French Community - the only French region in North America.

Caisse Centrale de la France d'Outre-Mer

From 1941 to 1958, the Caisse Centrale was responsible for issuing banknotes to French West Africa, French Equatorial Africa, Cameroun, Madagascar, the French Overseas Departments (DOM) and Saint Pierre-et-Miquelon. In 1945 it introduced the Franc CFA (Colonies Françaises d’Afrique) for use in the Equatorial African States. In 1959, the banking functions were transferred to the Institut d'Émission des Départements d'Outre-Mer and the Caisse Centrale has transitioned to be an economic development organization for the regions.
