About same to do US$/ EUROS/ UK Pounds. Collectors living in Canada, are tormented by a weak currency. Most of my Swiss coins are in dukats/ duplones. I do have a 1922-B AV 10 Franken/ 1902-B AV 20 Franken/ 1939 AV 100 Franken. Had my parents stayed in Germany/ I could buy 45% more rare coins with stronger euro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
