One of things you really notice when living in Switzerland is the fact that they use good old-fashioned cash a lot more than in the UK, for example. People will willingly walk around with large wads of notes or, often, with a large bill such as this 1000CHF note. Putting that in a UK perspective that is £611! A woman in the supermarket paid with one of these today in front of me and the cashier didn't blink an eyelid, imagine a similar occurrence in the UK - you would be looked as a thief, forgery or just weird and they would never accept it - most don't even accept £50 notes without fuss.
