One, two and five centimes are still in usage.
I tend to over simplify when I go shopping. I just double the Euro to come up with an equivalent NZ dollar price.

lunettes
spectacles
My new spectacles that I purchased just before i departed for France caused me a great deal of discomfort for the first six weeks. I thought that I needed to get used to them, however, I never did. Finally, I had the good sense to get them adjusted at an optician in town. She was exceptionally kind and very smiley.
