| Description |
The Currency type is designed for use in financial applications. It supports 4 decimal places with at least 53 bits precision*.
Decimal places beyond the supported 4 are rounded up or down, as appropriate. See the sample code for an example.

|
| Notes |
* Depends on the processor floating point precision.
Very large Currency values will lose precision with some of the StrUtils functions.
