Fearing a shortage of banknotes in the colony, on 17 September 1914, Raymond Poincar\u00e9, then the president of France, signed a decree authorizing Madagascar\u2019s governor general to produce 10 million francs worth of notes consisting of 7 million in 5-franc notes, 2 million in 10-franc notes, and 1 million in 20-franc notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anticipated shortage did not materialize because France was able to deliver 5- and 20-franc notes in 1914, followed by 10-franc notes in 1916. As such, it wasn\u2019t until 29 March 1917 that the decree of 1914 was promulgated and l\u2019Imprimerie Officielle de Tananarive began printing notes in Madagascar. However, by late 1917, the Banque de France was able to supply notes to the colony, so the locally-produced notes were never issued and were thought to have been destroyed. For more than a century, only the 10-franc note was known to survive, but 5- and 20-franc notes were also confirmed in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
