"Surprise! You're on our 100 Frank Bill!"
Part of what makes the Swiss so lovable is not merely their neutrality, but that they have some of the coolest money I have ever seen: THE FRANK. Equal in Value to the US Dollar, the Frank far surpasses the "Greenback" for photographic originality and design.
While George Washington poses gracefully on the US Dollar, as if for a portrait, the Swiss Currency is filled with lifelike pictures that look like they were taken by an 8-year old with a Polaroid Camera. I can just imagine the conversation right now. "Hey Otto! Take this camera, sneak up on Grandpa, and snap this shot! We're gonna use it for the Hundred!"
Perhaps that is why Chicken Fajitas cost $31 in this country... and a Starbucks is just over $8!
Case in Point: The 10 Frank Bill. At least take your glasses off all the way!
