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 Mexican Peso ($)

The Mexican Peso (MXN, ISO 4217 code 484, symbol $ or Mex$) is the official currency of the United Mexican States, issued by the Banco de Mรฉxico (Banxico, est. 1925). Subdivided into 100 centavos.

Madero); coins: 5ยข, 10ยข, 20ยข, 50ยข, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20. Mexico removed three zeros from its currency on January 1, 1993 โ€” the 'New Peso' (peso mexicano nuevo) replaced the old peso at 1 new = 1000 old, reflecting cumulative inflation from earlier decades. Mexico is the world's 12th-largest economy by nominal GDP (~$1.8T in 2024 per IMF WEO) and the world's largest silver producer. Banxico targets 3% CPI inflation ยฑ 1% band per the Monetary Policy Framework. MXN is a freely traded emerging-market currency.
