You'll find a lot of that at eastern European/russian/chinese airports. It is from the conversion of meters to feet, be it QNH or QFE.
Poland comes to mind, Transition Altitude is some odd number and also the approach altitudes are indicated on our plates that way. In reality the controler will not clear you to 2930 feet, but to 3000 of course.
