This serie of banknotes belongs to the period in which the Belgian franc was progressively replaced by the euro. In
this period the prime minister was Jean-Luc Dehaene of the
Christian-Democratic and Flamenco Party, which carried out a reform in
1993 in which Belgium became totally a federal state. In the 1999
elections, the traditional parties of the government suffered a
significant defeat by the Dioxin affair, leading Guy Verhofstadt to
form a government of liberals, socialists and greens, which shortly
after announced a gradual elimination of the seven nuclear reactors of
Belgium and a fifth constitutional reform, with the agreements of
Lambermont and Lombard. There are banknotes of 100 Belgian
francs, 200 Belgian francs, 500 Belgian francs, 1,000 Belgian francs,
2,000 Belgian francs and 10,000 Belgian francs.
