Comments
W 1967 roku cena srebra gwałtownie wzrosła, osiągając 260 franków za kilogram w sierpniu i 350 franków za kilogram w marcu 1968 roku. W tym czasie wartość stopu 1/2 franka wynosiła około 0,73 franka. Szwajcaria zaczęła doświadczać poważnego niedoboru gotówki, zwłaszcza na północy, gdzie ludzie nielegalnie wywozili monety do Niemiec w celu ich przetopienia. Pomimo surowych środków przeciwko gromadzeniu i topieniu monet, szacuje się, że stopiono około 100 ton srebra w monetach o nominałach 1/2, 1 i 2 franków. Kryzys zakończył się w 1968 r., kiedy szwajcarska mennica zaczęła bić monety ze stopu miedzi i niklu z pełną wydajnością, około 1,5 miliona monet dziennie. Monety zostały wypuszczone 10 maja 1968 roku, a stare srebrne monety zostały wycofane 1 kwietnia 1971 roku.
