French Currency in the 1800s!

Don't quote me on this, because I'm rounding a bunch, and pulling from differenct sources, but these are about the equivalents:

1 Louis=1 Napoleon=1 Crown (the rulers just changed the name :))
1 Napoleon=20 francs
1 livre=1 franc
10 decimes=1 franc
100 centimes= 1 franc
25 sous=1 franc

One Louis back then was equivalent to $4 back then; nowdays, it'd be around $78 Talk about inflation!
