About Tanzanian Shilling (TSh)
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, ISO 4217 code 834, symbol TSh) is the official currency of the United Republic of Tanzania (mainland Tanzania + Zanzibar), issued by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT, est. 1965). Subdivided into 100 cents (no longer in use). Banknotes: TSh500, TSh1,000, TSh2,000, TSh5,000, TSh10,000 (highest denomination; current series introduced 2010-2011 features Tanzanian wildlife — giraffe, elephant, rhino, lion — and Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895m, Africa's highest peak); coins: TSh50, TSh100, TSh200, TSh500. Tanzania is one of East Africa's largest economies (~$84B GDP in 2024) and a major exporter of gold (Africa's 4th-largest gold producer), tanzanite (the only commercial source globally — found exclusively at Merelani Hills near Mount Kilimanjaro), coffee, cashews, and cotton. Tourism contributes significantly (Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar archipelago, Kilimanjaro climbing). The BoT targets 5% CPI inflation. Tanzania uses a managed-float exchange rate regime. The East African Community (EAC) has long-term plans for monetary integration with Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi.
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).
