1@chepner Ok, the question is related to saving and investing. If you are not Swiss citizen and not seen CHF banknotes, you have to recognize how Swiss francs look - there are 8 different series and most of them are not valid now. The year of issue is the most simple way to decide whether this banknote is new and probably valid or its value is only numismatic.– i486Jul 5, 2019 at 17:15

The first 2 digits of the serialnumber are the printing year. E.g. 00 is 2000, 94 is 1994, 19 is 2019.

Thanks. Is there similar information about series of banknote (6-7-8, etc.)?– i486Jul 5, 2019 at 12:00

Not sure if i understand the question correclty - but you can look up the information how long one series was produced and how long its valid (based on the series). Also the design of the series differs greatly if you need to check which series it belongs to...– ThomasJul 8, 2019 at 10:11
