I hope this won't happen. We're not in yet the EU, nor EMU but the current
exchange rate implies a value of 1cent=0.30 crowns. This already means that
most things will be more expensive by 10-20 haellers, which is the price
difference between a bun and a roll. If we had only 5 cent coins, the
smallest amount of money would be 1,50 CZK (15 times more than today, and
yes we do use 0,10 coins). 1,50 is the cost of a bun - and all prices would
increase about 0,70CZK (which is a lot)
