Casio MS-80VERII calculator

The Casio MS-80VERII is a compact desktop calculator specifically designed with tax and currency conversion features, as indicated by the 'Euro Conversion' branding. This model is widely used across Europe for retail and office tasks. While the brand itself is synonymous with Japanese engineering and precision, this specific model is typically manufactured in China, which is standard for Casio's high-volume consumer electronics.

Casio's journey began in Tokyo shortly after World War II, initially finding success with a specialized smoking pipe before revolutionizing the calculation market. Today, Casio remains a publicly traded Japanese powerhouse, known not only for its calculators but also for its rugged G-Shock watches and electronic musical instruments. The company maintains its global headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo, and continues to be led by descendants of the founding Kashio family along with professional executives.
