The official currency is of course the Swiss Franc, but the Euro is also quite widely accepted, and therefore "used".

The official currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF), however, they also will accept payment in Euro. If you pay with Euros just expect to receive your change back in Francs.

swiss francs, abbreviated chf. there are 5, 10, 20 and 50 rappen (coins). 1, 2, and 5 swiss francs are also coins. 10 chf and up are paper monies and vary in colour and size. the different sizes are helpful for the blind. the chf is also the currency for the country of lichtenstein.

Aunt Wiki knows it all! You know what she says? It's the Swiss franc! Its actual exchange rate to the $ is 0.855505.
For pictures of the Swiss coins as well as bank notes, please go here (sorry, the English Wiki-link doesn't respond if I put it here): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_Franken
And for those interested in the latest news: In 2010, new Swiss bank notes will appear. See how they look like: http://www.snb.ch/en/iabout/cash/newcash/id/cash_n...
@Goddess of Grammar: And the $, too! Ever been in Sankt Moritz and done your shopping at Coop..? No problem, of course, to do so "with real money", as I heard saying an American :-)

the swiss franc but many areas of Switzerland like Geneva are multicultural and so also accept the Euro.
