Does this make sense to you?
While I was at VBits, they mentioned about the Currency data type being removed and to use double. What was weird was that the double is better because you get more precision with more decimal places..Now here is the question. Who here has ever had 1 dollar and .99564433 cents?

Is it for some kind of global usage where maybe other countries would run into situations somewhat like that? It does seem like a bit of over kill.

Something that just crossed my mind. Gas prices. Gas in the Us is priced with an extra 9/10th of a cent.

I designed a system for metered water billing. You get the unit charges being 3/4 decimal places which when multiplied with the reading can give values that you need calculated accurately.
