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 Nicaraguan Cordoba (C$)
The Nicaraguan Córdoba (NIO, ISO 4217 code 558, symbol C$ — distinct from the Canadian Dollar despite the same symbol) is the official currency of the Republic of Nicaragua — named after Francisco Hernández de Córdoba, the Spanish conquistador who founded Granada (1524) and León (1524) in modern Nicaragua. Issued by the Banco Central de Nicaragua (BCN, est. 1961). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: C$10, C$20, C$50, C$100, C$200, C$500, C$1,000 (the highest denomination; current 'Familia de Billetes' polymer series introduced 2014-2015 features Nicaraguan natural and cultural heritage — Concepción Volcano, Mombacho Volcano, San Cristóbal Volcano, Cocibolca Lake, traditional dances, indigenous handicrafts); coins: 5 centavos, 10 centavos, 25 centavos, 50 centavos, C$1, C$5, C$10. Nicaragua's currency was formerly devalued via a 'crawling peg' against USD at a daily 5% annual rate (reduced to 3% in 2019, then 2% in 2020, then 1% in 2023) — meaning the NIO/USD rate slowly weakens at a pre-announced pace. The current Daniel Ortega regime (Sandinista National Liberation Front, FSLN) has been in power continuously since 2007. Nicaragua faces significant US sanctions following 2018 anti-government protests and the 2021 election crackdown.
