No it didn't load, but I never considered leaving my money for 60,000,000 years on a bank account.

Did you read my post about calculating in cents right away? (The one I linked)

Maybe a lexical option for decimal precision could be a reasonable feature request, such that for precision 2 the literal 10.01 is always internally represented as 1001.
