About This Series

The Caisse d’Escompte series of France in the World Currency contains 41 distinct entries.
In 1767, the first Caisse d’Escompte was founded to perform some of the functions of a central bank, including purchasing commercial paper and government securities, paying 4 percent interest (5 percent during war), and charging a 2 percent commission. The Caisse d’Escompte also held a monopoly on the issuance of coinage. The first Caisse d’Escompte failed in 1769 without ever having issued any notes, but another Caisse d’Escompte (Discount Fund, ESC) was established in Paris by royal decree of 24 March 1776. This institution was empowered to discount bill...
