Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• B) Currency swaps generally also have final face value payments, also in different currencies.
• C) Using a currency swap, a firm can borrow in the market where it has the best access to capital, and then "swap" the coupon and principal payments to whichever currency it would prefer to make payments in.
