New Swiss currency notes to be issued

The Swiss National Bank announced on Tuesday that the new 200 Swiss franc bank notes, the latest in a new series that showcase Switzerland’s scientific expertise, will go into circulation on Aug 22. The new series includes CHF 50, CHF 20 and CHF 10 notes that are already in circulation, as well as CHF 100 and CHF 1,000 notes that will be released in 2019. The overall theme is “the many faces of Switzerland” and each note is based on a different concept — time, light, wind, water, matter and language, according to the announcement.
