3 Fixed rate against euro
4 Tolar - Euro exchane

[edit] Symbol

There's a claim, on the dollar article, that the tolar uses the dollar symbol ("$"). That's simply not true, is it? –Hajor 01:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

You are correct, it is not ...I'm going to remove that entry.

[edit] Lower Denominations

Given that the 10 stotinov is only worth 0.04 euro cents, I'm wondering if this and other small denominations are still circulating? Does anyone know?

        10, 20 and 50 stotinov are not circulating anymore and I 18 years old, born in Slovenia    have never seen the 10 and 20 ones.

No 10 and 20 stotinov coins were never in circulation, but can be bought at Banka Slovenije (Bank of Slovenia). 50 stotinov coins were in circulation for short time, but they were never really accepted and used by Slovenians in practice. Nowadays many people don't use 1, 2 and 5 tolar coins because of their small value (0.4, 0.8 and 2.1 euro cents).

These are all good answers. Got references? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 21:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

1, 2 and 5 tolar coins ARE still used and are regularly returned as change at stores and stuff, but because of their low value, consumers don't like to get them, so they usually just let the store keep the change.. However they can are common in circulation.. I doubt there are any references on this, I'm speaking from experience.. edolen1 16:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

So this would be a good benchmark: When your saving account generates interest, to what decimal place is the interest rounded to? Same question on gasoline. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 20:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

After poking with Slovenske železnice, http://www.slo-zeleznice.si/en/, prices of rail ticket could be a number like 3283 SIT. That is 30% discount (SŽ-EURO 26) from the regular price 4690 SIT. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 13:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, like I said, there is no rule or general guideline that says prices should be rounded off to 10 SIT. Plus, some even have tolar prices in decimals now (xxxx.xx SIT), to have round prices in euros (this can be seen in foreign tourist-oriented businesses, like casinos). Gasoline prices are rounded off to one decimal (although always shown in two, the second always being a zero), bank accounts use two decimals fully, same goes for everything in euros. edolen1 16:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed rate against euro

Somebody wrote that the rate against euro was to be fixed on 7/11. And I copied that date to the infobox. Now the date has passed. But the central bank still publishes a slightly different rate (for today). Can someone verify and explain? --Chochopk 04:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

According to [1], the rate was fixed on 11/7, but it doesn't tell what the final rate is. According to [2], the rate has been almost fixed since that date. (218.228.195.44 15:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC))

My interpretation is that the rate is agreed on 11 July 2006 and is to become effective as of 1 January 2007. Before 1 January 2007, it still floats in a very small margin. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
