Mind you, this is just your basic $10 desk calculator, but it DOES have a very interesting twist to it. I can see this would be very useful if you were routinely calculating numbers and showing people the results. Anyhow, check it out:

Interesting calculator

Good idea for tourist markets throughout the world. Wherever the buyer doesn't understand the language of the seller and the seller doesn't speak the language of the buyer :)
