How Can I Get Paid in Swiss Francs?
If only I had taken that job as King of Switzerland. I would be now be getting paid in the paper currency that seems to hold the most value these days.
The power of the Swiss franc is so great that it has managed to hold an entire nations — nations which are not called Switzerland — under its spell.
In Hungary, for example, where, for some mysterious reason, the majority of home loans in the Noughties were made out in CHF, great swings in the Swiss currency garner more coverage in the Hungarian press than they do in Switzerland — particularly when the franc is heading upwards, which seems to be the only direction it has been headed recently.Update: Just as these lines are being typed, the Swiss National Bank has decided to take measures to weaken the franc.
