Argentina took the nazi soldier, US took the nazi scientists, of course we took the nazi gold ! After all, Switzerland is a dwarf confederation.

Yes. About 200 million USD worth. Trading with the fascists is a stain that will remain on our history for a long time.

implying Switzerland doesn't still trade and bank with fascists

It sure will, considering it's still ongoing - your country just replaced Nazi gold with Russian gold.

Ackshully all gold trade with Russia was stopped the second they launched their full scale invasion of Ukraine. We're implementing the same sanctions as the EU.

At least the Swiss never gave the nazis back their stolen gold.

No no no.... They just decided to restrike all their Swiss francs for no good reason whatsoever... Just for fun. Totally normal... Despite the expense.

How many tooth filings and wedding rings does it take to make 20 francs?
