Why is any serious commercial programmer implementing money as a 
floating-point datatype?

Coins are round so PI could come in handy?

If your languages does not support scaled integers then toss it out and 
user the right tool for the job. Heard the same bullshit from C and 
Pascal programmers for too long.

C.o.B.O.L the clue is in the name.

Having said that, would BASIC's DECIMAL type be any use and would 
lib$callG save a call-frame on the stack?
