Many people have a rough euro conversion in their head. Nobody except maybe those who border or live in Switzerland has a Swiss franc conversion in their head.

It’s like 1 to 1 with the dollar or euro

It's more like 1.25 to 1.3x these days.

No need for a conversion as the example given is wrong by a factor of 4.

The Swiss chose to stay out of the European Union because of their neutrality and national pride. They didn't want to have to answer to Brussels. They are in the Schengen Area which is for travel.

Isn't it funny that when people use USD on this site as generic currency, noone bats an eye, but the moment you use a different one, people immediately attack it? The way you feel about this, is exactly the same as we feel when we have USD shoved down our throats left and right.
