Talk:Currency

Motivation

The topic came up on the Go mailing list. I know it's a common topic and was surprised to see it missing from RC. My task example comes almost directly from the original post. I clarified what I thought were points of valid concern, exact representation and rounding, and bumped one number a little so that truncating the tax result would give the wrong answer and rounding was required. I expect the task to be especially simple for languages with a native or library decimal type. —Sonia (talk) 23:45, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
