| | In France, for example, good silver gros tournois were replaced by 1400 as the standard large silver coins by blancs, which were minted half of silver and half of alloy. | | | Many of these later gros, for example the gros tournois in France, were twice as large as the early Italian grossi. | | | In France the system of livre, sou and denier parisis, based on the denier parisis until it ceased to be struck in 1365, continued in use for at least another century and a half. |

| | Livre tournois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In France, the "livre tournois" and the currency system based on it became a standard monetary unit of accounting, and continued to be used even when the "livre tournois" ceased to exist as an actual coin. | | | In 1577 the "livre tournois" accounting unit was officially abolished and accountants swtiched to the "écu" which was at that time the major French gold coin in actual circulation, but in 1602 the "livre tournois" accounting unit was brought back. | | | In French the word "livre" meaning pound (weight) has existed in France from the Middles Ages, and although the French metric system has largely to replace it with kilograms, it continues to be used today in some commercial contexts (such as shopping at a butcher's or a vegetable stand). |

| | The livre tournois was, like the other monetary systems of account, subject to heavy devaluation. | | | The livre, like the other European monetary systems of account, went back to the "Charles' pound" and was divided up into 20 sols (shillings) of 12 deniers (pfennigs). | | | Until then the livre had been France's monetary system of account, its name being derived from the Latin libra (= pound) and from the town of Tours (livre tournois). |

| | The sou tournois was a 12-denier coin, one-twentieth of the livre tournois (Tournois pound), while the sou parisis was a 15-denier coin. | | | After decimalisation in France, the sou became the name for a five-centime coin, one-twentieth of the French franc(Until the late 1960s, the expression "20 sou" was a synonym of 1 Franc). |

| | In addition to the basic l./s./d., there is also the mouton, and the ecu which are roughly equivalent to the livre, and the Franc, which was introduced as part of a fiscal reform in 1360, which was the equivalent of a livre tournois. | | | To give some perspective in the matter, at a rough extrapolation, the livre is worth about US$ 1000.00, the sou (also sometimes called the sol) about US$ 50.00, and the denier about US$ 4.00. | | | If you want to make them into regional currencies for persona reasons, the livre tournois is worth about 1/4 less than a livre parisis, and a livre bordelaise is worth about 1/4 more. |

| | As a coin it disappeared after the reign of Charles VI., but the name continued to be used as an equivalent for the livre tournois, which was worth twenty sols. | | | In 1795 the livre was legally converted into the franc, at the rate of 81 livres to 8o francs, the silver franc being made to weigh exactly five grammes. | | | It also bore an effigy of King John on horseback, from which it was called a franc a cheval, to distinguish it from another coin of the same value, issued by Charles V., on which the king was represented standing upright under a Gothic dais; this coin was termed a franc a pied. |

| | I don't have the slightest clue how much money 96,075,000 livre tournois amounts to, but, dude, that's a lot of wax. | | | This same rationale -- we save money by shifting our schedules forward in the summer -- is what prompted Germany to adopt Daylight Saving Time during World War I. By the time WWII rolled around, many states in the US wised up and instituted it as well. | | | At a price of thirty sols per pounds of tallow and wax (two hundred sols make one livre tournois), the total sum comes to 96,075,000 livre tournois. |
