From 1908, francs circulating in Djibouti were legally fixed at the value of the French franc. Starting in 1910, banknotes were issued for the then colony by the Bank of Indochina, in denominations of 5, 20 and 100 francs. Chamber of Commerce paper money and tokens were issued between 1919 and 1922 in denominations between 5 centimes and 1 franc. The decline in the value of the French franc following the First World War caused 500 and 1000 francs notes to be introduced in 1927 and 1938, respectively.

In 1952, the Public Treasury took over the production of paper money and a 5000 francs note was introduced. By 1965, coins of 10 and 20 francs had been introduced and the lowest notes were 50 francs. The change of name to "French Afars and Issas" in 1967 was reflected on both the coins and notes and was followed in 1970 by the introduction of 50 and 100 francs coins to replace the paper money equivalents. In 1971 and 1973, the franc was revalued against the US dollar, first to a rate of 197.466 to the dollar, then 177.721, a rate which has been maintained ever since.
A further change in coin and banknote design followed independence in 1977. The National Bank took over production of banknotes. The only subsequent changes have been the introduction of 10,000 francs notes in 1984 and the replacement of the 500 franc note with a coin in 1989.
