Details
The 1 and 2 raps coins have not been used since about 1978; although the 1 rappen coin remained official tender, all prices were rounded off to 5 rappen. The Swiss National Bank achieved this by selling the 1 raps coin at 4 raps each (the then production costs). As of January 1, 2007, the 1 raps coin was abolished because the production cost about 11 raps each.

De munten van 1 en 2 rappen worden sinds ca. 1978 niet meer gebruikt; hoewel de munt van 1 rappen officieel betaalmiddel bleef, werden alle prijzen afgerond op 5 rappen. De Zwitserse Nationale Bank heeft dat bereikt door de munt van 1 rappen te verkopen tegen 4 rappen per stuk (de toenmalige productiekosten). Per 1 januari 2007 is de munt van 1 rappen afgeschaft omdat de productie ca. 11 rappen per stuk kostte.
