Thanks Tim,
    
    may be I should clarify that it's only for presentation. The mone value
is stored as anMeasure of it's monetary unit in the Aconcagua framework.
 
    But I'm curious about your answer. Let's supose the user enters in some
input widget with keyboard the '5.30' value. That will end as a Float at
some point. Do you suggest I convert that to a ScaledDecimal? (to
store/comare, etc)?
 
    I'm evaluating this:
 
 (5.3 asScaledDecimal: 2) 

    and also obtainig:  ' 5.29s2'
 
    so I'm still lost about it,
 
    thanks,
 
Sebastian Sastre

Hi there,
 
    I'm geting this unexpected result from a Squeak 3.9 final 7067 image.
 
    I need to display money values with two digits. Has anybody a sugestion
to correctly achieve this?


First and most important - don't maintain money as floating point numbers.
Second - never do simple compares of floating point numbers.
