Currency data type

A data type that is useful for calculations involving money or for fixed-point calculations in which accuracy is extremely important. This data type is used to store numbers with up to 15 digits to the left of the decimal point and 4 digits to the right. Because the Currency data type uses discrete values for all amounts, binary round-off isn’t a factor when calculating totals.
