Not sure what you mean in the context of the 99c example. The default
unit for the US currency is the Dollar, not the Cent, but in the
context of the 99c context, we need to ensure that "Dollar" is not
picked as the unit, but "Cent" instead is.
What I'm suggesting is that everything be treated as dollars in USD and
everything be treated as Yen in JPY. Isn't that how most applications
and people deal with money anyway?
No, not everyone. See, for example, Fuel Watch [1] which list all the
prices in cents per litre. For them, changing it to dollars would
probably be a little confusing because fuel prices are given everywhere
in the country as cents per litre.
