About Albanian Lek (L)
The Albanian Lek (ALL, ISO 4217 code 008, symbol L) is the official currency of the Republic of Albania, issued by the Bank of Albania (BoA, est. 1992). Subdivided into 100 qindarka (plural: qindarkë; no longer in circulation). Banknotes: L200, L500, L1,000, L2,000, L5,000, L10,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2017; the current series introduced 2019-2022 features Albanian historical figures and cultural symbols — Naim Frashëri, Sami Frashëri, Ismail Qemali, Aleksandër Moisiu, Pjetër Bogdani, Skanderbeg, the medieval Albanian national hero); coins: L1, L5, L10, L20, L50, L100. Albania is a small Balkan economy (~$23B GDP, ~2.8 million population) that has pursued EU and NATO membership — NATO since 2009, EU candidate since 2014 with formal accession negotiations opened in July 2022. Albania uses a managed-float exchange rate regime with the BoA targeting 3% CPI inflation. The lek is named after Alexander the Great (Lekë in Albanian) and historically was anchored to silver. Major Albanian economic sectors include tourism (Albanian Riviera, Tirana, Berat, Gjirokastra UNESCO sites), remittances from diaspora (~10% of GDP), and chromium/copper mining.
About Swiss Franc (Fr)
The Swiss Franc (CHF, ISO 4217 code 756, symbol Fr or SFr) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB, est. 1907). Subdivided into 100 centimes (in French) / Rappen (in German) / centesimi (in Italian) / raps (in Romansh). Banknotes: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000 CHF; coins: 5, 10, 20, 50 centimes, 1, 2, 5 CHF. CHF is regarded as a global 'safe-haven' currency due to Switzerland's political neutrality, strong Triple-A credit rating, low debt-to-GDP ratio (~17%, among the lowest in OECD), and gold-backed reserves (~22% of SNB foreign reserves were in gold as of 2024). Historically CHF was pegged to gold until 1999 and maintained a unilateral cap of 1.20 CHF/EUR from September 2011 to January 15, 2015 ('Swiss Franc Shock' when SNB unexpectedly abandoned the peg, causing a 30% intraday spike). SNB targets price stability (CPI inflation between 0 and 2% per Federal Act on the SNB).
