I wondered if there were times when more decimal places were necessary 
because of calculation of taxes or exchange rates or something like 
that.  Since we don't actually *use* the Acquisitions module, I don't 
have any experience in that department.

If the answer is yes, two decimal places is fine, should I go ahead and 
format output where I find it while we're waiting for a system-wide 
currency format preference?

Thanks for everyone's advice,
