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 Turkish Lira ()

The Turkish Lira (TRY, ISO 4217 code 949, symbol ₺) is the official currency of the Republic of Türkiye (Turkey) and Northern Cyprus, issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT, est. 1930). Subdivided into 100 kuruş. Banknotes: ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100, ₺200 (the current 'E-9 Emission' series introduced 2009 features Atatürk on all denominations + scientific/cultural figures on the reverse — Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Cahit Arf, Ahmet Yesevi, Itri, Ohanesyan, Aşık Veysel, Fatma Aliye); coins: 1 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr, 25 kr, 50 kr, ₺1. Türkiye removed six zeros from its currency on January 1, 2005 — 'New Turkish Lira' (Yeni Türk Lirası, YTL) at 1 new = 1,000,000 old, simply renamed back to 'Türk Lirası' (TL/TRY) on January 1, 2009. Türkiye has experienced repeated severe currency crises — the 2018 lira crisis, the 2021 'lira shock' under President Erdoğan's unorthodox 'rate cuts cure inflation' theory, and ongoing inflation crisis (peak ~85% in October 2022, ~64% in May 2024 per TÜİK). The CBRT abandoned heterodox policies under Mehmet Şimşek + Hafize Erkan in June 2023.
