Images of the 9th series edit

I suggest to give the images more room, at least as much room as with the 8th series. Of course, this would require to re-arrange the table, possibly by merging otherwise almost empty columns into a single one. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in table layout.

I moved the table to the article (see the updated version there). Thanks in advance for adding the last missing information or correcting any mistake. Specifically, any help to identify the tunnel (10 francs) and the mountains (50 francs) as well as two objects (200 and 1000 francs) is welcome! Jessie Thoger (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC).Reply
@Jessie Thoger:: Please stop requesting to rotate pictures of the new bills! First of all, before you request such a task, make sure everybody else who use such a file on many other aticles (in even other languages) will be satisfied with such a change (probably not). Secondly, the Swiss bills are presented officially the vertical way since the eigth series!! ... as you could have easily recognised by yourself! – Thanks. -- ZH8000 (talk) 23:28, 26 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Possible rewriting request edit

As of 2022, the Swiss 1000-franc banknote is the world's 2nd highest value currently-issued banknote, after the Brunei$10,000 bill (worth around 6,900 Swiss francs in 2022), followed by the Singapore $1,000 note (worth around 690 CHF) and the 500 euro note (worth around 490 CHF), was demonetised.

I find this passage to be unintelligible. What is it even trying to say? I believe it should be made more concise because I can’t fully understand this after reading it more than once. I do not get the relevancy with the Singapore and Euro notes. If the Brunei banknote was demonetised then what is the 1st highest value issued banknote? That should be mentioned if the other currencies are too, in my opinion.
