The scale Richard listed is the same as using a 500-point VP 
scale with the first imp worth 6 VPs and the second imp 
worth 7 VPs (a rounding error, I'm sure).

I think people are just generally less scared of decimals 
than they are of large numbers.  Maybe this explains why 
Italy was willing to abandon the Lira in favor of the Euro.
