Chapter XVII: Money, Weights, and Measures

The monetary unit is the korona = 10d., which is divided into 100 fillér.

_s._ _d._

Gold coins 20 korona = 16 8
10 ” = 8 4
Silver coins 5 ” = 4 2
2 ” = 1 8
1 ” = 0 10
Nickel coins 20 fillér = 0 2
10 ” = 0 1
Bronze coins 2 ” = 0 ⅕

Paper money comprises notes for 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1000 korona.

_N.B._—Many shopkeepers still reckon in the old florins and
krajczárs. The purchaser should take care to ascertain
whether the price marked is in florins or in korona.

1 florin = 2 korona.
1 krajczár = 2 fillér.

The decimal system of weights and measures is used in Hungary.
