One of the World's Most Secure-Looking Currencies, Recreated for Film
Swiss francs are widely regarded as some of the most intricately designed banknotes in circulation — layered security features, vivid color gradients, and precise typography that make them instantly recognizable, even to viewers unfamiliar with Swiss currency. Our prop Swiss Franc banknotes are built to echo that same visual complexity, giving productions a currency stand-in that holds up under close scrutiny on screen.
Real CHF Isn't Worth the Hassle for a Few Seconds of Footage
Sourcing genuine Swiss francs for a shoot — particularly outside Switzerland — usually means currency exchange fees, banking restrictions, and the added risk of handling foreign cash on set. Prop money removes that friction entirely. Cast and crew can count, stack, toss, or fan out bills as many times as a scene demands, with zero exposure to real funds.

Matched Texture for Believable Handling
Switzerland's banknotes are polymer-based with a distinct stiffness and subtle sheen that plain paper can't replicate convincingly. Our prop notes are printed on stock chosen to mimic that same feel, so they fan, flip, and catch studio light naturally — a detail that matters most in scenes where a bill is handled up close or riffled in front of the camera.
Novelty by Design, Compliant by Default
Each note includes intentional design differences and disclaimer text that keep it clearly separate from genuine Swiss currency. That means no import restrictions, currency handling regulations, or legal grey areas to work through when ordering, shipping, or storing bills for your production.
