The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, issued by the Swiss National Bank.
The modern ninth‑series banknotes celebrate Switzerland’s global contributions through themes such as time, light, water, and language, expressed through innovative, abstract designs rather than portraits.
These notes are renowned for their cutting‑edge security features, vibrant colours, and durable materials, making them some of the most advanced banknotes in the world.
They remain the primary legal tender across Switzerland and are widely recognised throughout Europe.

Before the introduction of the current ninth‑series notes, Switzerland issued several earlier generations of Franc banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues featuring prominent Swiss artists, scientists, architects, and cultural figures, along with traditional engraving styles and layouts that defined Swiss currency for decades.
As the Swiss National Bank modernised the currency, older issues were gradually replaced with enhanced security features, updated designs, and more durable materials.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Swiss Franc notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items — especially the eighth and seventh series, which many travellers and collectors still encounter.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Swiss Franc notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
