        Just located one of my references (O'Reilly: VB & VBA).

        Based upon the description, VB /currency/ data type is a 64-bit 
(binary) integer with implicit scaling for FOUR decimal places -- so 
one STILL has to be concerned with rounding to get to whole cents.

        The other "applicable" data type is /decimal/, which appears to be a 
28-digit packed BCD format. (Though where VB stores the sign and 
decimal point info I don't know -- book says the type takes 14-bytes).
