euros-to-tolars.jpg
In the eyes of the Lord, 50 tolars is 50 eurocents.

Rok recently posted this sign from inside Maribor’s glorious Franciscan Church. It lists the suggested donation for candles, in which Slovenian tolars are generously matched to eurocents one-to-one. In truth, 50 tolars is only 21 cents. Therefore, the church put a 138% mark-up on the euro price. As you can see, someone has scrawled “What kind of math is this!!” at the bottom of the sign. What kind of math, indeed.

Here’s hoping other Slovenian businesses don’t follow the church’s lead on January 1st.

(Thanks Rok!)
