The current series of Swiss banknotes was introduced in 1995. The notes were designed by Jörg Zintzmeyer and Manuel Krebs and printed by Orell Füssli Security Printing. The notes are made of cotton paper and measure 74 by 148 millimeters. They are protected against counterfeiting by a number of security features, including a watermark, a security thread, and a hologram.
Swiss banknotes are legal tender in Switzerland and are also widely accepted in Liechtenstein. They are also used as a store of value and as a means of payment in many other countries around the world.
