Yes, numeric gives you a range of about 15-16 significant digits. It seems this number is outside the range of significant digits, for numeric.
Currency gives you, in total, more significant digits - but at fixed positions. Actually, I understand that "currency" values are stored internally as an 8-byte integer.

Outside the range for currency, unfortunately.
