I was done once. The guy that did it didn't understand that he
was making the balance sheets come out too good. It was a flag
that something was wrong and he got caught.

In many cases, "REAL" (actually
"floating point") numbers are
inappropriate. For MONEY, I tried to get my students to use ints (and
calculate the pennies not the dollars), and then just move the PERIOD
when they display the results.
How will they ever get rich moving the rounded-down fractional
pennies into their own accounts?
