Arthur,

  I would only do that if I could not live within the four decimal accuracy
that the currency data type offers.

Speaking of money, I read somewhere that it's a good idea not to use
currency data type and instead store the value as an integer representing
the number of cents, then to put in the decimal in the presentation layer
not the data. Any opinions on this?
