Rappen
[rah-puhn]
In Switzerland, one-hundredth of one Swiss franc is called Rappen in German. The plural is unchanged, thus also "1 Rappen", "2 Rappen". The word Rappe (plural Rappen) may also refer to a true black horse.
In French, the coins are called centime and "centimes", in Italian, centesimo and "centesimi" respectively. One- and two-Rappen coins were withdrawn from circulation in around 1973, but one-Rappen coins continue to be struck for internal accounting purposes.
