In
Switzerland, one-hundredth of one
Swiss franc is called Rappen in
German. One- and two-Rappen coins were withdrawn from circulation in around
1973, but one-Rappen coins continued to be struck for internal accounting purposes until 2006.
Nickel coins for 10, 20 and 50 Rappen are still a common currency in Switzerland, whereas 5-Rappen are mostly available as
brass coins. The plural of Rappen is unchanged, thus also "1 Rappen", "2 Rappen". The German verb "berappen" (
English: to fork out) derivates from Rappen and is mainly used in Swiss- and
Alpine regions. In
French, the coins are called centime and "centimes", in
Italian, centesimo and "centesimi" respectively.
