What is the currency of France?

Isn't it about time that this was updated?

French Franc - WordNet Dictionary
Definition: [n] the basic unit of money in France

See Also: franc
And this one is also out of date.

Any suggestions for what these online dictionaries should say for the entry instead?

What about the entry in, let's say, 20 years time?

French Franc:
Previous basic unit of money in France before the introduction of the Euro.

Euro:
Basic unit of money in France and Germany. Originally intended as a European wide currency but lost favour after widespread corruption caused the European Union project to collapse.

I'm sure you lot out there can do better than that.
