I'll probably wrap a currency class around Fraction or Integer as other  
the posts suggested. ScaledDecimal should be out, as John Pierce  
mentioned, the scale applies only to its display, not its actual value  
used in arithmetic.

John: I'll skip your changeset for now, not sure I'm comfortable doing a  
major change such as this as I'm still quite new to Squeak. Hopefully  
someone else will find it useful. Thanks.
