Swiss cash is one of the few currencies designed in the vertical format, standing alongside the likes of Canada and Bolivia. But why did they opt for the vertical in lieu of the horizontal, and why does the general design of the Swiss Franc look so weird?

I remember when the notes first changed (the 50 Frank note was the first one to come out). I was in the train and someone in the compartment next to mine had the new note and everyone was so excited, it was given around and talked about and all in all a very fun and memorable moment (especially bc usually no one ever really talks to strangers in the train). The person eventually got their note back but the conversation in the whole carriage continued and it was such a great train ride! Loved the vid, such great visuals too❤️

As a swiss, i liked your video, it was well researched. One thing to note though. I agree that the fact that no person is shown on the notes is interesting. However, I would attribute it to someone else that 'swiss exceptionalism' - it has cultural reasons. It is not true, that the Swiss history lacks power and influential people. They were just not seen as our hero's but oppressors. Switzerland has a long history of successfully rebelling against authoritarian rule. Did you know that Switzerland didn't had a king since the 13th century? Switzerland survived by decentralizing power through federation and relying on consensus for national level decision making. This structures practically make it impossible for a strong man to lead. In Switzerland, if something gets too powerful or influential people will hate it. Cheers!

@@wayandoas someone who’s working with constitutional rights in Switzerland, the corona period was handled extremely poorly. In fact, you should expect quite a drastic change from Switzerland soon. Since Switzerland was unprepared and has no constitutional emergency bill many anti-constitutional things were passed during COVID. This enraged the public and worst thing is: from left to right in the past few years they’re trying to pass bills that go directly against the constitution. No one seems to care though because they saw it works to go against it during Covid. (In the parliament) They don’t even bring this up to the general public anymore

It was done so poorly we then voted 3 times on the measures and approved them all. Don't confuse a loud minority you seem to be part of with the swiss citizens as a whole.

What makes it especially hard to counterfeit is that they used every printing technique for certain aspects of the banknote: - offset printing -digital printing -letterpress -screen printing and so on… Apart from that, with UV-Light you can see patterns and actually in the paper there are fibres that are UV-reactive, so they use special fibres in the process oft making the paper. Also the new note seems to have about 200 different security checks and about 20-50 are revealed pubicly. Source: I made an apprenticeship in Switzerland as a printing technologist, so for some things I probably can‘t prove with an actual source.

I love Switzerland, but we also have to be careful with idealizing countries... this video sure stretches things a bit for the sake of that... In any case, there's definitely lots to learn from the Swiss. They are respectful, efficient and insanely capable. But Swiss society also tends to be very conservative, despite what this video may lead you to believe (did you know it took until the 70s for women to have the right to vote in all cantons?). There's also still problems of racism and discrimination, both in politics and in society. But you know what? At least the politicians seem to consistently do their job. And the trains... my god the trains!

It's a a depiction of the "right hand rule" which is a shorthand way of remembering which axis are labelled X, Y and Z in 3D space, which is important to know since there are two ways to "order" those labels and using a mixture of both makes a mess of things

Hi, mi from Swiss ( Ticino) and I really like this video because finally someone know Swiss history and don’t only say that we are rich (mi not even rich)

It's funny watching someone talk about the money I use as so granted and don't ever think about it. It's always very interesting hearing people from other countries talk about my home country. - Well researched, good job!

Well done. I would have never assumed an outsider could understand Switzerland so deeply.

I congratulate the creator of the video. As a Swiss who knows the notes and their interpretations, I viewed this video more from the aesthetic side. I liked it extremely much. Therefore, a subscription to this channel is a must for me.
