Liechtenstein is a small nation that shares border with two of the most beautiful countries of Europe, Switzerland and Austria.
The Swiss Frank (plural: Franken) has been the currency of Liechtenstein since 1920. The Swiss franc is legal tender since Liechtenstein is in a customs and monetary union with Switzerland. The 1980 treaty between Switzerland and Liechtenstein allows Liechtenstein to mint Swiss franc coins, but not to issue banknotes.
Education is based on Roman Catholic principles and is under government supervision.
