That's not entirely true... Of course some prices in the retail stores raised, but authorities are doing quite a good job. From 1st March this year all prices are written in both currencies for example and several organizations monitor them. There are also black lists of companies issued. So you can discover that prices of items like pommes frites, rice and lemons raised. But that isn't a general practice. In fact, you can't even connect raising prices with € in most cases.

Of course some prices have raised and some more will. But it's not nearly as critical as it was in other countries that introduced the € 5 years ago (Germany as a prime example). I believe this transition will go smoothly without any bigger price skyrocketing shocks.

It's not that bad. Notably more expensive are cinema tickets (20-30%), some parking houses (also in that range) and drinks in few pubs (but not all). Prices in shops stayed relatively the same. It is much better than in Italy in 2002.
Question is, what will happen after 1.1.2007

edolen1 · December 16th, 2006, 02:10 PM

Even with cinema tickets, it's only in Ljubljana and only because Kolosej has a monopoly there.

Parking tickets won't rise as bad as previous thought thanks to Jankovič's interference and other prices didn't rise more than usual.. Coffee is 20 SIT more expensive here at some bar I frequent, but there were similar raises previous years as well. I just went to get my hair cut today and they raised the price from 3000 SIT to 3200 SIT. Two years ago that price was 2400 SIT. So the rises are not too much out of the ordinary.

Definitely not what Italy witnessed. We're much better prepared, thanks to the bitter experiences of the original 12 members..

As far as I know, proce of cinema tickets in Celje and Maribor went up for quite a big percent... Not in Ljubljana.

If I remember correctly from the blacklist, while prices in Ljubljana went up like 20%, they only went up around 5-10% in Celje and Maribor..

You remember incorrectly

A ticket in Ljubljana's Kolosej costs 1186 SIT (without discounts), previously it was 1100 SIT. That's about 7 %.

In Celje and Maribor, it costs 1006 SIT. I don't know exact previous price, but I think it costed around 800 SIT. I checked the "black list" - only Maribor and Celje are mentioned in the section above 10 %.

edolen1 · December 16th, 2006, 06:15 PM

Ooops. My bad, mixed those two up. In LJ and KP the ticket went up by 7%, in MB and CE by 33%.

Ljubljana City · December 16th, 2006, 06:15 PM

Officially:

Maribor and Celje: 33% raise

Ljubljana and Koper: 7,8 % raise

EDIT: You were faster, edolen

What I find funny is taht Spar commercial on TV where they are promissing the prices will be the same or lower... And those frozen potatoes were one of the first items to end up on the black list after going up some 100 something %...

As for the "old SIT"... u people really need to let go of old things... U horders, u should watch Life Laundry on BBC Prime sometimes

***LordMarshall*** · January 7th, 2007, 04:38 AM

Congrats and all that..

now the real question, i collect bills from around the world, and i wasnt that interested in our area because shit we change money so fast. but since you guys have switched to Euros that means that the Tolar has gone in to the history books. well i want a part of that history. so far i have been able to get a hold of a few samples.

10 Tolars
20 Tolars
50 Tolars
100 Tolars
200 Tolars
500 Tolars
1000 Tolars

but to finish my collection i need the 5000 and 10000 Tolars bills. so how can I get ahold of these two samples.

i have a feeling that because of their high monatary value and ability to get Euros for them (you can change your Tolars for Euros for a brief time right?) no one is willing to part with them cheaply. so what should i do wait till the switch is finished and market decided the price or do you know where i can get a sample.

thanks guys

OettingerCroat · January 7th, 2007, 06:52 AM

well u live here in SF... we here have a lot of these foreign currency exchange offices... have u tried those? just give them USD for the amount of tolars you want, ask for specific bills.

***LordMarshall*** · January 7th, 2007, 08:28 AM

i was wondering about that.

did they pull out the Tolars or are they still in circulation

OettingerCroat · January 7th, 2007, 08:33 AM

not yet, but very soon. hurry to see if theyre still using tolars.

***LordMarshall*** · January 7th, 2007, 08:34 AM

ill be downtown monday and ill stop by an exchange office..

Ljubljana City · January 7th, 2007, 10:26 AM

Hurry, yes... Although I think they probably don't have them anymore. Even Bank of Austria or Bank of Hungary started free exchange of tolars to euros for example.

edolen1 · January 7th, 2007, 05:55 PM

You're too late, man.. You should've done this before January 1st.. I highly doubt you will be able to get any tolars at exchange offices, they will only accept them, probably.

Otherwise cash payments can be made with tolars until January 14. But the change must be given in euros.

Verso · January 7th, 2007, 07:06 PM

LordMarshall, I found you sth, but I'm not sure, if you can order them as an American, since the company's Norwegian.

Or, this is better and American - http://www.atsnotes.com/world/w-nz.html

Here - http://www.banknotes.com/ - they don't have them any more.

Btw, you might wanna consider buying 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Hungarian Pengos from 1946
