	Swiss coins
		Switzerland was a member of the League of Nations, and although it has long participated in many activities of the United Nations, it did not become a UN member until 2002 for fear that its neutrality would be compromised.
		In 1866, the Swiss Government declared that, 'The Federal Council regards the parity of the silver coinage originating from these four countries as a first step towards implementing the notion of a universal monetary system.' The Latin Monetary Union, of which Greece subsequently became another member, remained officially in force until 1926.
		In order to counteract this misuse of circulation coinage, the Federal Council prohibited the export of silver coins and furthermore decreed that as of 1968 all 5, 2, 1 and ½-franc coins would no longer be minted in silver, but in a copper-nickel alloy composition.
