RE: [Cz-L] Tram discount legitimation - 5 Heller

 Thanks, Hardy,

This is interesting.

I have tried to find out more.

Here some info about food prices and wages in 1913:

My mother, a little girl at the time, told that from time to time she was
given a money-gift of 1(one) Heller.

With 1 Heller she was happy to buy herself 1 "Bokser", a sweet Carob (
Charuv) pod.

Irene,
In 1913 One USD was 5 Austrian Krone or 500 Heller.
 What could a USD buy then ?
