Also, just to be clear: I'd suggest floats because decimal requires importing a module and using the non-built-in features thereof
The issue is not that much whether it's supported by builtins, in software, but by CPU's; which is not the case, so that all computations are made in software... there used to be some machines with builtin decimals (internal representation), maybe there still are some, but certainly not in mainstream computers.
