In Francia, nonostante che gli uffici del bollo (Fermes Générales) fossero stati soppressi nel 1791, il vecchio responsabile dell'ufficio (Jean-Francois Kalandrin) venne invitato a riprendere la sua attività
Ma nel clima di disorganizzazione conseguente alla rivoluzione gli argentieri non portavano più i loro prodotti all'ufficio del bollo e Kalandrin preferì farsi da parte e scomparire.
