What currency does Liechtenstein use?

Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc as its currency.

The landlocked principality has a customs and monetary union with Switzerland, so Swiss francs are legal tender in everyday life. Liechtenstein does not issue its own circulating banknotes, although it can produce limited commemorative coins bearing Liechtenstein designs.

The switch came after the First World War. Before 1920, Liechtenstein used currencies linked to Austria, including the Austrian krone and heller. Economic instability after the war encouraged the principality to align itself with Switzerland and adopt the Swiss franc.

The Swiss franc is also used by Switzerland and is identified internationally by the code CHF. Liechtenstein is not part of Switzerland and remains an independent state; its shared currency results from a formal monetary relationship, not political incorporation. The euro may be accepted in some tourist settings, but it is not Liechtenstein’s national currency.
