Euro currency began to circulate in early 2002 and is the offical currency of Austria and Germany. Switzerland continues to maintain it's own currency, the Swiss Franc (SFr.) and so the euro is a foreign currency in Switzerland.

Austrian schillings that were in current circulation at the time that they switched over to the Euro can be exchanged indefinitely at the Austrian National Bank (Oesterreichische Nationalbank). Private banks may also exhange schillings for euros, but are entitled to charge a fee for doing so. Currency of older series is typically available for exchange to euros for twenty years after it's issue. More information can be found on the bank's webpage at http://www.oenb.at/en/rund_ums_geld/umtauschfristen/exchange_periods.jsp

Similarily, German marks (DM), can be exchanged for euros at (German) State Bank branches. See http://www.kfw.de

What kind of money does Geneva Switzerland use?
