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 Honduran Lempira (L)
The Honduran Lempira (HNL, ISO 4217 code 340, symbol L) is the official currency of the Republic of Honduras — named after the indigenous Lenca chief Lempira who led resistance against Spanish conquistadors in 1537. Issued by the Banco Central de Honduras (BCH, est. 1950). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: L1, L2, L5, L10, L20, L50, L100, L200, L500 (the highest denomination, introduced 2010; current series features Honduran historical figures — Lempira on the L1, Francisco Morazán (the first president of the Federal Republic of Central America), José Cecilio del Valle, José Trinidad Cabañas, Dionisio de Herrera, Marco Aurelio Soto, Juan Manuel Gálvez, Ramón Rosa); coins: 5 centavos, 10 centavos, 20 centavos, 50 centavos. Honduras is one of Central America's poorest countries (~$30B GDP, ~10 million population). Major exports include coffee (Honduras is Central America's largest coffee producer), bananas (the term 'banana republic' was coined to describe early-20th-century Honduras under United Fruit Company influence), shrimp, palm oil, textiles. Remittances from ~1 million Hondurans in the US account for ~25% of GDP — among the world's highest remittance-to-GDP ratios.
