I didn't realize/remember that there were two CFA francs. How crazy is it that so many countries keep using currency controlled by France? Half a century after independence? Long after even France stopped using francs?

I do not believe it is really controlled by France. The CFA was indexed on the French Franc then after 2001/2002 on the Euro. Just like a certain number of currencies are indexed on US dollar.
@ Tamerlane: The country is Guinea-Bissau not Bassau
