Theoretically, car parking in Riga is 5 times cheaper

Riga municipal parking meters can accept Lithuanian 20 cent coins on a par with Latvian centimeters of the same denomination. Given the difference in the rate of lats to litas (for 1 lvl around 4.92 ltl), this gives a fivefold benefit.

20 Lithuanian cents look like this:

And so 20 Latvian centime:

In an average hour of parking, you need 5 such coins, which is 1 lvl, but in Lithuanian coins it is 1 ltl or only 0.20 lvl. Apparently the size and weight are the same.
