>>"Is this good" depends on what results you expect. An accountant may expect 0.99; in this case, you have to round intermediate results, whether you use Currency or Double type. If you want the result to be closer to 1, Double will give you better results, since calculations are done with more decimals.

Note that you can still STORE as Currency - i.e., use the Currency type in the database - and convert to numeric when required for calculations (with the mton() function). Storing as Currency may save space in some cases.
