Hmm....

Mmm....

Eer....

Well one answer is = It's cuz of the Euro, which (probably) cuts a small amount out of the money.

Then there is tax... but do you pay tax if you pay with Euros?

Heres another one.

3 guys - 10 bucks each.
5 dollars back - 3 so they all payed ... 9
9 times 3 is 27.
2 Dollars left. 1 was kept by the (greedy) waiter.
So...
Think about it - if tax is .5 per dollar, that means it takes 25 dollars to equal 1 dollar of tax, which compensates for the lost buck.

But then agan - If you're paying with Euros, is there the .5 tax?
