I believe this means that these 5 Pennies was worth 1 cent each, and they will always be worth 1 cent; the value of "Pennies" never changes. > Assets:Coins 5 Pennies @ $0.01 > This means that you got 5 pennies for a price of 1 cent each. To be more clear, Assets:Stocks 100 GOOG @ $80 Means you bought 100 shares of GOOG at $80 each, but the value of GOOG may increase in the future. So if Ledger sees later that 1 GOOG is worth $200, then it will revalue the original 100 GOOG to be worth $20,000. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong John :) -- Andrew
