Question

Switzerland is not in the european market,do the use and accept the euro as a currency?

Answer 1

The official currency is the Swiss Franc, worth about 65 or 70 Euro cents.

Most hotels, restaurants and large stores will accept the Euro. Many small ones will too (as will my babysitter), though of course they aren't obliged to. I'd say about half give back change in francs and half in Euros. You can also change money at any train station or take out money at any of the millions of bank machines. (Be warned: if you ask for 100 francs you'll get a 100-franc bill and if you ask for 200 you'll likely get a 200-franc bill. It's not a problem, you can get change for it anywhere, but it can take people aback.)

Answer 2

As stated above the currency in Switzerland is the Swiss Franc.

A lot of shops especially in the bigger cities also accept Euro bills but mostly give you the change in Francs.

But don't count on it.

Answer 3

The countries with euro as THE coin Belgium Germany Spain Ireland France Greece Italy Luxembourg Netherlands Austria Portugal Finland ========= Switzerland is the only country that will accept payment at most places in Euros. Their cash registers can calculate the exchange. Odd, their parking meters do not. ======== A year from now, there should be more countries participating in the euro. One day there should be 28 countries total. ======== I never expect England to participate in the euro. It appears to me they float their pound by never disclosing what exactly they do have in the way of gold bullion under Fleet Street. To be a euro country requires that individual countries reveal a country's revenues, assets and debts with a report to Brussels.

Switzerland has always used the swill Franc. But Switzerland has always been the centeral of international banking. The shops generally accept all form of currency; and then theres always the old credit card

Answer 5

Swiss do not spend Euro in their own country.



But almost any larger store accepts Euro - and in touristic places all spendings can be done in Euro.



Of course credit cards are widely accepted as well - and money exchange is possible in almost any village.
