MONEY! is a bit strange in that MONEY/1 seems to be reserved for the
monetary symbol, with the true scalar value beginning at MONEY/2 -- but
it's definately not a series. Meanwhile, the value we set is just a
DECIMAL! number. In fact,
m: to-money 1234.56
d: m/2
type? d
decimal!
TUPLE! accepts up to 10 8-bit bytes (0..255), for a total of 80 bits.
(At least my copy errors at the 11th member.) Large, but finite.
And definately not a SERIES ;-)
