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).
About Bahamian Dollar (B$)
The Bahamian Dollar (BSD, ISO 4217 code 044, symbol B$ or simply $) is the official currency of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas — an archipelagic country of ~700 islands off the southeastern coast of Florida. Issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas (CBB, est. 1974). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: B$0.50, B$1, B$3 (an unusual denomination!), B$5, B$10, B$20, B$50, B$100 (the highest denomination; current 'CRISP Evolution' series introduced 2016-2019 features Bahamian historical figures and natural beauty — Sir Lynden Pindling (first prime minister), Sir Etienne Dupuch, Sir Milo Butler, Roland Symonette, the Sand Dollar — the world's first official CBDC representation, Atlantis Resort Paradise Island); coins: 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 15¢ (rare), 25¢. BSD is pegged to USD at 1:1 since 1973 (when The Bahamas gained independence from the UK), and US dollars are widely accepted alongside Bahamian dollars throughout the islands. The Bahamas was the first country in the world to launch a retail Central Bank Digital Currency — the Sand Dollar — on October 20, 2020 (predating the Chinese e-CNY and Nigerian eNaira retail launches). The economy is dominated by tourism (~50% of GDP, ~7 million visitors annually) and offshore financial services.
