The system believes that forints only exist in whole numbers (see under 
Tools->Security Editor). I am not aware of any way to change this via the 
user interface (you could alter the source and rebuild).

According to (English) Wikipedia, "It is divided into 100 fillér, 
although fillér coins have not been in circulation since 1999" and there 
are 280 Ft to the Euro. It also says "The 1 and 2 forint coins remained 
in circulation until February 29, 2008. After this date cash transactions 
were rounded to the closest 5 forints." 

What can you buy for one point nine forints?
