If you're working with money, it is generally accepted to use integers. I
think the problem is not that floats are rounded but rather that they
aren't. (at least in the way we expect when working with a PC or Mac)
Its not too difficult to calculate your own rounding corrections when making
complex calculations. If I remember correctly, adding a rounding correction
somewhere around the 5 or 6th decimal place usually works.
