Uses double for currency #61

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Double type shouldn't be used for currency as it's binary and can't represent 
exact decimal values. This may lead to obscure and hard to find bugs.

Currency should be stored and manipulated as BigDecimals.
