History Of The Mexican Peso  The Mexican Peso is one of the oldest currencies in North America. Its original design follows from the Spanish silver dollar and original eight pieces. It was an official tender in both the U.S.A and Canada until the mid-1850s. To be precise the U.S.A until 1857 and Canada until 1854 accepted Mexican Pesos along with other coins.  The government printed new currency notes with the smallest note having a value of 10 pesos. The Largest had a value of 1000 pesos. In the beginning, they carried a prefix N for Nuevo but after 1996 they stopped printing the N. Although technically it is still Nuevo, people now just call it the peso. New coins were also minted with their smallest value of 5 centavo and largest of 50 pesos.

History Of The Swiss Franc  The Swiss Franc is the national currency for both Switzerland and Liechtenstein. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the Swiss franc was unregulated and as such was considered to be a highly variable and complicated currency. Before the currency was regulated in 1850 by the Swiss Federal Constitution, the country had 75 entities and 25 cantons - all of which produced their own individual coins  It would not be until 1907 when the first Swiss banknotes would be printed. Since then, eight different series of banknotes have been distributed. The notes differ in size, color and design so as to distinguish the value of the notes. The banknotes also feature the four national languages of Switzerland: German, Romansh, French, and Italian.
