The Swiss franc is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. It is abbreviated as CHF, which stands for "Confoederatio Helvetica Franc." The Swiss franc is known for its stability and is often considered a safe-haven currency during economic uncertainty. The currency is subdivided into 100 rappen (or centimes in French). Swiss francs are issued in both coins and banknotes, featuring various designs that highlight Swiss culture, history, and notable figures. The Swiss National Bank is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency to maintain its value and stability.
