Key facts
Swissmint produces Swiss coins for circulation. It is a unit of the Federal Finance Administration (FFA). Growth in the number of coins in circulation has been slowing for a few years now, and this trend was accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to falling profits at Swissmint, and in 2020 it experienced its first ever loss, amounting to CHF 10.9 million.
