<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1152702, member: 39&quot;]Originally the Heller was made in the Swabian city of Hall; hence the name. From 1 mark (about 234 grams) of fine silver you would make 600 heller. When the German Empire was founded in 1871 and then picked the mark as a currency (1 Mark = 100 Pfennig), the Heller stayed in circulation in Bavaria for a while - worth half a Pfennig.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure a system such as 100 x = 1 y makes calculating easy. But I suppose that people who deal with miles, yards, pints and ounces every day would easily cope with odd currency systems as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
