Currency is a 64-bit fixed-point decimal. This means that Currency does not have some of the rounding issues that are inherent in floating-point numbers stored in Double.
Use Currency instead of Double when storing monetary values. Since Double is a standard double-precision floating-point number, it is unable to store some specific decimal values. The Currency type avoids these issues, which can be particularly important with rounding and when dealing with money.
