Delve into the Swiss Franc

The sophistication of the Swiss currency

The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the James Bond of currencies—sleek, reliable, and always in demand. 

Introduced in the 19th century, this iconic currency replaced Switzerland's chaotic mix of over 860 coins to unify the country’s financial system. Known for its stability and innovation, the Swiss Franc is a global powerhouse. 

Today’s CHF notes and coins are marvels of design and security, blending cultural heritage with cutting-edge technology.

Fun facts about Swiss Currency

  • The Swiss Franc (CHF) is one of the world’s oldest currencies, with its origins dating back to 1850 when it was officially introduced as Switzerland’s unified currency.
  • Switzerland has a famous "dual currency" system, as the Swiss Franc is used alongside the Liechtenstein Franc in nearby Liechtenstein, which is pegged to the CHF.

Travel Money Trivia - CHF edition

  • Before the Swiss Franc debuted in 1798, Switzerland was drowning in financial chaos with over 860 coins in circulation, each with its own value—talk about a math headache! 
  • Enter the Franc to save the day, becoming a unifying force and a hallmark of Swiss precision. In the 1960s, silver franc coins made headlines when their metal value surpassed their face value, triggering a melting spree until the government stepped in to protect them.  
  • Here's a quirky tidbit: The Swiss Franc banknotes are quadrilingual, showcasing German, French, Italian, and Romansh.
