That is the general problem, using numbers with fractional part. Converting to
binary number give theoretically a infinite amount of decimal places, which are
cut somewhere. So you get a slightly different value, when converting back to
decimal. If you subtract a number of nearly the same amount, the significant
parts are lost and the wrong decimal places come into sight and are no longer
covered by rounding.
If you need accurate currency, you must calculate in cent and apply the
prescribed rounding rules.
