Actually, that is a point I meant to make somewhere in this
thread.

When you're dealing with money, it's better to use cents (or
tenths or hundredths of cents) as a unit, rather than dollars.
You can then use integer math. This gets you around all the
problems with a base-2 representation of base-10 fractions,
something you don't want to have to deal with when money is on
the line..
