Paragliders for 50 Swiss francs in Switzerland !

Switzerland’s new 50 CHF Swiss Franc bank note has a paraglider and pilot against a backdrop of the Swiss Alps printed on one side.  The initial designs of the bank note were first seen in 2005 and were kept top secret by designer Manuela Pfrunder and team.

Released today, 12th April 2016, could this become a new collector’s item for paraglider pilots? Possibly, but will the Swiss have printed enough of them !
