<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 3027089, member: 39"]These days the coins from pretty much every country use parallel (↑↑) alignment, except the US and South Korea (maybe Thailand too, not sure). Switzerland used to be a special case as the centime/rappen coins have had this parallel alignment since, uh, 1880 or so, while the franc/franken coins used the opposite alignment (↑↓). That changed in 1982, as sonlarson wrote; since then all Swiss coins have had this parallel orientation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
