Kazakh money

Some serious close up shots of the Kazakh Tenge 10000, 1000, and 500. Yup they have ridiculous numbers here! We went to a grocery store the other day and the total came out to something like 5,000 tenge which equals to around $35. This unnecessary complication of currency just baffles my mind!! Looks like we in the US complicate the total amount payed with random sums such as $4.95 + tax = $5.19 and they complicate the total amount payed here with a whole bunch of zeros! WHY can't we just do even numbers like $5.00 or at least round off to like $5.25??? Anyway, enjoy these cool close ups and I'll just shut up with my rambling.. haha
