@0xabad1dea I worked at a large investment bank years ago where all currencies were stored as floats EXCEPT GBP which was store as Ints in pence. (Yes, even Yen that has no fractional value).
Of course, on occasion, some programmer would forget to * or / by 100 to get GBP and all hell would break loose 😂
It rhymed with Reddit and a European Alpine country with a square flag who DID go bust 😂
