Somebody help me out with this...

I was just thinking after reading this earlier that there is a country/culture where leaving a penny (not just a penny -- but a penny with a normal tip) is considered the highest compliment.

Anyone else ever heard this? I'm thinking it might be Italy (whatever the corresponding monetary unit to the penny is there -- probably 23 million lire) -- but not at all sure.
