<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3906996, member: 39&quot;]Right. Switzerland is &quot;special&quot; in that, while some coin designs have been in use for many decades, this does not make the older pieces legal tender. It works with most 10 and 20 rp/ct coins but not for any of the other denominations. And like almost <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> everybody else in the world, the Swiss are used to older pieces being taken out of circulation at some point.</p><p><br /></p><p>In some countries such old coins and notes lose their monetary value after some redemption period. Elsewhere you may not be able to spend them any more but can still redeem them. Different countries use different &quot;models&quot; for that. And as long as this is simply done in order to replace an old type with a new one, not due to political or economic instability, fine with me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
