I can't think of a currency with more than two decimal places, but a
currency format preference is probably the safest route forwards.
Actually, isn't it normal to use a fixed-precision number at the
database level for money?
I wondered if there were times when more decimal places were necessary
because of calculation of taxes or exchange rates or something like
that. Since we don't actually *use* the Acquisitions module, I don't
have any experience in that department.
If the answer is yes, two decimal places is fine, should I go ahead and
format output where I find it while we're waiting for a system-wide
currency format preference?
Thanks for everyone's advice,
