Switzerland's first Federal Coinage Act introduced the franc in 1850, replacing a mess of cantonal coins. By one estimate some 8,000 different coins and notes circulated beforehand. The Swiss National Bank has issued the banknotes since 1907, when it took over from the cantons and private banks.

Congress created the dollar with the Coinage Act of 1792, the law that also established the US Mint. Today's bills are Federal Reserve Notes, issued through the central bank created in 1913. Federal paper money itself dates to 1861, first printed to help fund the Civil War.
