Spending our Swiss Francs


Driving across the Swiss Alps, we were subjected to the autobahn toll. As we were only staying in Switzerland for one night we hadn’t bothered to buy any Swiss francs, but that was okay, we were allowed to pay in Euros. The only problem was that we were given our change in Swiss francs, a total of about six francs in coins. We reckoned the canny Swiss government was probably making quite a lot of money from all the small-change francs that never got spent by the drivers who were just passing through, so we decided to buck the system and spend it at the next motorway services. And what did we buy?

Toblerone, of course.
