The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is responsible for issuing banknotes, while the federal mint, Swissmint, produces the nation’s coins. Between 2016 and 2019, the SNB gradually replaced the eighth series of notes with the carbon-neutral ninth series of Swiss currency currently in circulation, introducing advanced design elements, enhanced security features for stronger fraud prevention, and a significantly lower environmental impact.
All banknotes from the sixth series onward remain exchangeable at the SNB at full nominal value, whereas notes from the fifth series were officially withdrawn from circulation and fully demonetized on May 1, 2000, yet remain of interest to collectors.
