The article states: "Historically the forint was made up of 100 fillér, but fillér have been rendered useless by inflation and have not been in circulation since 1999." But what does it mean? It seems clear that the previous currency, the pengő, was subdivided in 100 fillér. Is the fillér still legal tender as a subdivision of Forints (or at least was it)? Clarifications welcome! --[[User:Nicapicella|NicApicella]] 15/Aug/2005 |

Yes, ''fillér'' as such was in use until the 1990s. See [http://www.penzvero.hu/forgkivontpenz.php?switchlang=hun this page] (and click ''Következő oldal'' at the bottom for the next pages). The most interesting coin was the [http://www.penzvero.hu/fk_erme_reszlet.php?id=13-10003-1&ref=%2Fforgkivontpenz.php%3Foffset%3D24&switchlang=hun 2 fillér] (click the red links to see its both sides), which had a hole in the middle. You can also see that this piece of coin was minted in 1990. -- [[User:Adam78|Adam78]] 23:14, 18 August 2005 (UTC) |

Fillér as currency?
The article states: "Historically the forint was made up of 100 fillér, but fillér have been rendered useless by inflation and have not been in circulation since 1999." But what does it mean? It seems clear that the previous currency, the pengő, was subdivided in 100 fillér. Is the fillér still legal tender as a subdivision of Forints (or at least was it)? Clarifications welcome! --NicApicella 15/Aug/2005
- Yes, fillér as such was in use until the 1990s. See this page (and click Következő oldal at the bottom for the next pages). The most interesting coin was the 2 fillér (click the red links to see its both sides), which had a hole in the middle. You can also see that this piece of coin was minted in 1990. -- Adam78 23:14, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
