Currency for me is Int64 (* int of 10000 or binary shifted) it is more stable and not lose any cent when sum the balances, until i passed it to ABS, ABS convert it to float and return back to Currency, that my problem here. In the future i like to have new kind of Currency (integer) but more extend (* 1000000 for example). Best Regards Zaher Dirkey
