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 Euro (€)

Subdivided into 100 cents. Introduced in non-physical form January 1, 1999 and as banknotes + coins January 1, 2002. Banknotes: €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 (€500 discontinued from circulation 2019); coins: 1¢, 2¢, 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, €1, €2. The Eurozone includes Austria, Belgium, Croatia (since 2023), Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain. EUR is the world's second-largest reserve currency (~20% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024). ECB targets 2% HICP inflation symmetrically over the medium term. Used as de facto currency in Kosovo, Montenegro, and Andorra.
