Well, I've never paid a petrol station a fraction of a cent; I've only seen *rates* of money per some unit of measure with fractional cents. If you're being accurate about assigning types, a rate like that is no more money than speed is a distance. Likewise for everywhere else I can think of such fractional cents -- for example, hourly pay rates or tax mill rates on assessed value. These all (in my experience) are multiplied by a number in the unit of measure of the divisor to get a money amount without fractional cents before you do anything with actual *money*. While others may have had some contrary experience, I've worked with many types of businesses, non-profit organizations, and government agencies for 38 years, and can't recall having seen anywhere that what you describe would cause a problem, when the type is used correctly. -Kevin
