2.4 Currency

Switzerland’s currency is the Swiss franc (CHF) comprising 100 centimes. The smaller denomination, which is worth a hundredth of a franc, is called "Rappen" in German, "Centime" in French and "Centesimo" in Italian.

Banknotes: CHF 1000, 200, 100, 50, 20 and 10
Coins: CHF 5, 2, 1 and 50, 20, 10 and 5 centimes

In addition to the Swiss franc, euros are becoming increasingly accepted (change is often in Swiss franc coins and with a bad exchange rate).
