About Swiss Franc Exchange
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, renowned for its stability and long-standing reputation as a safe-haven currency. We accept all denominations of Swiss franc banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Swiss Franc Banknotes
The current 9th series of Swiss franc banknotes, introduced between 2016 and 2019, features striking modern designs and some of the most advanced security features of any currency in the world. We exchange all denominations from this series, including the 1000 franc note and the 200 franc note, as well as all smaller denominations in between. If you have returned from Switzerland with a mix of notes, we can exchange the whole lot in one go.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy withdrawn Swiss franc banknotes, including notes from the 8th series issued in the mid-1990s — such as the 8th series 1000 franc note — as well as much earlier issues going back to the very first series issued in 1907, including the 1st series 1000 franc note. Damaged notes are accepted provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect condition. This applies equally to notes from the 7th series and other mid-century issues that many other exchanges will simply refuse.
Swiss Franc Coins
We accept a range of Swiss franc coins, including the 2 franc coin and smaller rappen denominations such as the 20 rappen coin. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but unlike most banks and bureaux de change, we won’t turn them away.
