Polish zloty
Hello All!
I've never been to Poland and its's hard to find a picture of a market with prices in zloty. What abbreviation do the Poles actually use for prices in markets, super- and otherwise? I know the international abbreviation on currency exchanges is PLN. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

Giving you something like 10.79 € (or if the € symbol doesn't appear at your end it would look like how it would seem if someone wrote 10.79 £ . Whether they do something similar in Poland I couldn't say. |

Would a farmer's market stall in, say, Krackow actually write PLN if they were giving the price for a kilo of apples? -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

If I remember correctly, it would be "zl" if you mean the price tag on an article. --Jean |

What abbreviation do the Poles actually use for prices in markets, super- and otherwise? I know the international abbreviation on currency exchanges is PLN. Generally speaking, the currency abbreviation (for the zloty) isn't used at all in Poland. Prices are usually written in zloty (large numeral) followed by groszy (smaller numerals). So on a market, for example, if you see oranges priced at 6 (big numeral) followed by 50 (smaller numerals), the price is 6 and a half zlotys for one kilo. Gerry |
