akdrv Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 PRAGUE (Dow Jones)--The monetary board of the Czech central bank, or CNB, said Thursday that it has decided to take the 0.5 koruna ($0.02) coin, or fifty heller coin, out of circulation as of Sept. 1 2008, as public usage of it gradually dwindles. The CZK0.5 coin is currently the country's lowest coined value in circulation. "Only 10% of these coins actually return from circulation to the central bank," the bank said in a statement, adding that this proves the coin's little usage. http://www.fxstreet.com/news/forex-news/ar...bd-79080e0676e9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 We used to not be able to spend these: 50 hellers would buy some gum and 350 crowns would get you some jeans. Of course a doctor made 2,000 - 5,000 crowns a month (depending on whether you were a woman or a man) and average folks made 1,500 or less a month. So jeans were expensive and my wife's 28k salary a month ($1,000 US) was beyond most people's imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
