Prices in both Switzerland and Liechtenstein are in Swiss francs (Schweizer Franken, francs suisses or franchi svizzeri). The most common abbreviation, which we’ve adopted, is “Fr.” – but you may also see “fr”, “sFr”, “Sfr”, “SF”, “FS”, or the official bank abbreviation “CHF”. Each franc is divided into 100; these are called Rappen (Rp.) in German-speaking areas, centimes (c) in francophone areas, and centisimi (also c) in Italian-speaking areas. There are coins of 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, Fr.1, Fr.2 and Fr.5, and notes of Fr.10, Fr.20, Fr.50, Fr.100, Fr.200 and Fr.1000.

Approximate exchange rates at the time of writing were Fr.2.60 to the British pound, Fr.1.65 to the US dollar, and Fr.1.60 to the euro.
