Purchase of 8th Series Swiss Franc Banknotes
We purchase recently withdrawn 8th series Swiss franc banknotes. If you have the banknotes shown below and wish to sell them, please contact our staff or visit our branches in the Silesian Voivodeship. Withdrawn 8th series banknotes - these are banknotes issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) before the series currently in circulation, i.e., before the 9th series, which was issued between 1995 and 1998, and their withdrawal from circulation began in 2021. The withdrawn banknotes presented on the website are no longer legal tender and cannot be used to purchase products and services in Switzerland or exchanged at local banks or exchange offices in Poland. However, our company offers the possibility of exchanging old withdrawn Swiss francs for cash or new ones, or they can be exchanged without time limits at SNB branches.
