first paragraph start in Wiki: "The *forint* (sign 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign>: *Ft*; code 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217>: *HUF*) is the currency 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency> of Hungary 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary>. It is divided into 100 fillér 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fill%C3%A9r>, although fillér coins have 
not been in circulation since 1999."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_forint)

another article (law: ) in hungarian about rounding rules for forint 
(and filler part) as no filler coins, and no 1 and 2 forints coins. This 
article is in hungarian at http://www.pmcode.hu/portal/images/T4856.pdf 
or http://www.forint.hu/resource.aspx?ResourceID=T4856_kihirdetesi
(unfortunatelly no translation found yet)
