About Bolivian Boliviano (Bs.)
The Bolivian Boliviano (BOB, ISO 4217 code 068, symbol Bs.) is the official currency of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, issued by the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB, est. 1928). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: Bs.10, Bs.20, Bs.50, Bs.100, Bs.200 (the highest denomination; current 'Familia de Billetes' series introduced 2018 features Bolivian historical figures and natural landmarks — Genoveva Ríos, Eduardo Avaroa, Adela Zamudio, Bartolina Sisa, Túpac Katari, Salar de Uyuni — the world's largest salt flat, the Madidi National Park, Lake Titicaca, the Royal Cordillera mountains); coins: 10 centavos, 20 centavos, 50 centavos, Bs.1, Bs.2, Bs.5. Bolivia replaced the previous boliviano (BOB ISO code 068) on January 1, 1987 at a rate of 1 new boliviano = 1,000,000 old pesos bolivianos (BOP) — ending a hyperinflation crisis that had reached 24,000% in 1985 (the worst non-wartime hyperinflation outside of Zimbabwe and Weimar Germany). Bolivia is home to the world's largest lithium reserves (~21 million tonnes per USGS, in the Salar de Uyuni and Salar de Coipasa), though commercial extraction remains limited. The BCB targets stable exchange rates (informally pegged to USD around Bs.6.91 per USD).
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).
