: Turns out I forgot to add the high 8 bytes for the 128-bit addition. Surprising how it didn't bork until the very last one. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 02:31, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
== rare vs. uncommon coins ==
Not a programming comment ... (just adding my two-bits, er, I mean 8% of that), but I would say that halves are not very rare, just uncommon. Around these parts (upper mid-west of the US), both dollar coins and halves are common. Now, what's very rare is a twenty-¢ piece, half disme, or a three-¢ piece. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
What's ever rarer than hen's teeth is a <big>½</big>-cent piece --- despite that there were over 7.8 million of those coins minted. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:56, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Also, the REXX versions support fractional cents. Support was added to allow specification of a half-cent and quarter-cent as '''1/2''' and '''1/4'''.
All fractional cents can be entered as (for instance) '''.5''' '''.25''' (with or without superfluous leading zeroes). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:36, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
