Cultural Insight
Jennifer: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Martin: One crown can be converted into 100 hellers. But because of deflation in recent decades, the heller coins have been abandoned and are not in use anymore. The prices in shops are still in hellers though. When you’re shopping, all the items are marked and the final bill is rounded off to crowns.
