Not float as in the data type float. You pass a string to Decimal() because floats already have rounding that you can avoid with Decimal() > - But the design philosophy does not.

Beancount handles more precision just fine and people use that all the time, e.g. for Bitcoin. The limitation is in the currency you're using (CHF). Beancount can easily have more fractions for CHF (0.12345 CHF), but unfortunately the real world doesn't work that way. But you can use 0.12345 CHF in beancount without a problem. -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
