Why did france demand that germany repay their debts in foreign currency?

With its defeat, Germany could not impose reparations and pay off her war debts now, which were now colossal. ... He says that had reparations not been imposed, Germany would still have had significant problems caused by the need to pay war debts and the demands of voters for more social services.

Hope this help
