Maybe online dont know its not 100% silver , did you pick any swiss silver coins ?
Almost all coins were made in silver up to 1968, which mean sometime you get silver when paying with cash and recieving the change haha

That could be. Many people probably buy just because it's old and "silver" but they don't know any real details such as how much silver and coin rarity and so on.
Ah, that trick works in the US and some other countries, but in Japan the modern silver-less coins look too different, so I don't think anyone is ever going to make the mistake of using an old silver one. Also, banks are much better about catching the few that they find. In the US I have gotten junk silver from a bank. In Japan I would never get anything except brand new coins from a bank.
Swiss banks are not less good than japan bank at catching coins, i think that its just that Swiss CHF being a currency with high value the coins are worth more than the silver value of the coin and therefore its "fine" to let the circulate, i must say i see less and less of these coins though but over time have at minimum 10 5CHF coins in silver
