Money (comp. p. xi). In Hungary, as in Austria, silver and
paper-money are in common circulation. Gold pieces are rarely
met with. The small coins are the same as in Austria, but with
a Hungarian legend (korona = crown, fillér = heller, forint = florin,
krajczár = kreuzer).
Hotels. Budapest, Pressburg, Debreczin, Szegedin, Temesvar,
Kaschau, and the other large towns, as well as the larger watering
places and summer-resorts of Hungary contain good hotels, suited
to modern requirements; and even in the country the Hungarian
inns are generally tolerable. A national custom that prevails at
many hotels is that of having gipsy-music every evening, often pro-
longed until a late hour.
Carriages for hire, except in the large towns, where the cabs
have a fixed tariff, are generally owned by Jews. In case of over-
charges the landlord or porter may be consulted, and as a tale a
bargain should be made beforehand.
