Manufacture and importation of coin-like objects

With the entry into force of the Federal Act of 22 December 1999 on Currency and Payment Instruments (CPIA; SR 941.10) on 1 May 2000, the authorisation requirement relating to the manufacture or importation of coin-like objects was lifted; an authorisation as provided for in Article 8 paragraph 1 of the Federal Act of 18 December 1970 on Coinage is no longer required. Accordingly, the (preliminary) examination is no longer carried out by the FFA, as was the case under the old law.
