Cash.
Well, I guess there are the beautiful vistas and landscapes and grand scenes here in Geneva. But I feel that details matter as well, so today you get to see what our bills look like. Go ahead and try to counterfeit this money... Most people around here say that the Swiss Franc is represented by some of the most colorful and stylish notes around; I'm convinced this is true. There are also 50's and things upwards of 100, but this is all I had to showcase for the time being. There are no bills smaller than 10 Francs, and if you take a look at the two coins on the bottom left, these are 5 Franc coins, with a few 2 and 1 and 1/2 Franc coins (all silver - quite confusing since all of the "cents" are silver coins as well). The bills are loaded with holograms and watermarks and cool pictures of famous people in Swiss history.

Lately it has been raining throughout the day, so I haven't been very thrilled about running around with the camera outside. I brought my camera to lab today, so expect a few snapshots of my work environment in the days to come.
