Fun fact:

Until1975, fifteen years after the independence, one could still travel from Cameroon/Africa to France with only a passport; there was no visa requirement.10 years later, it was still possible to use your CFA Francs in some places in Paris, or exchange them for French Francs at no cost.

How times have changed!!

Ah, interesting fun fact! It's amazing how times have changed, isn't it? Back in the day, you could hop from Cameroon to France with just a passport and even use CFA Francs in some places in Paris. Now we have visas and different currencies to deal with. The world keeps evolving, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing the fun fact and the links! 👍😄
