Swiss

A Brief Swiss History
Switzerland is in western Europe, bordered by France, Germany, Italy and Austria. It has four official languages French, German, Italian and Romansch, a Latin dialect spoken by about 1% of its population. It includes large parts of the Alps, and for much of its history has been split into small isolated communities under local rule.
It's economy is centred mainly around a well developed manufacturing industry with machinery, chemicals, watches and clocks being exported.

Swiss Coins
The franc is the currency and legal tender of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The Swiss franc is the only version of the franc still issued in Europe. The Swiss National Bank issues banknotes and the federal Swissmint issues coins. The coinage of Switzerland has been struck at the Bern Mint since 1853 with only a few exceptions. All coins minted there up until 1969 will carry a B mint mark, except for in 1968 when the mint mark was discontinued on the 2 Centime and the 2 Franc. 100 Centimes = 1 Franc.
