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.

can't help you with that except to say that I've often noticed prices
quoted in Euro being written with the € being written _after_ the
amount. 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.

zl what else ?

What part of Poland are you planning to visit? We have been there twice and
found the Poles very kind and friendly...of course since my parents were
both born there, I can speak Polish.

Would a farmer's market stall in, say, Krackow actually write PLN if
they were giving the price for a kilo of apples?

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

They don't have the Euro yet?

It's bad enough that Greece Spain and Portugal have the Euro.

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.
