thanks for infos.
is there any way to change SCU settings for Forints? becasue current 1
forint takes all is simply incorrect.
Let me try to sum financial regulation here:
- on bank account the smallest entry is 1 FILLER (which is 0,01
FORINT). That is the basis of trading. You can transfer it.
- Filler became virtual in many steps, first they removed from physical
existence of 1 FILLER and 5 FILLER
- later or they removed all filler coins, but it is still in use by
virtual (bank account) world, as 100 FILLERS = 1 FORINT
- last year the 1 and 2 FORINTs COINS DISAPPEARED, but still prices
like, 999 FORINT, or 9,99 FORINTS.
- in banking world: interest rates calculated in FILLERS, currency
exchanges made by 1EUR=267,23HUF, ..., etc.
in my personal point this 1 FORINT concept is not reflecting real life,
and Hungarian Law.
I am the only HUF users here?
should i find some official documentation to prove regulations here to
help the dev team to fix it?
many thanks
Zoltan
