Ok, so how do I do all calcs with the same precision? The currency
data type always returns things out to 4 decimals, but I have not
seen a fractional penny as of late. How do I keep all answers to be
at no more precision than pennies - with ROUND()? Why do I want
currency to be at four digits? Can I change it to only 2 to eliminate
the issue?
